The tires themselves will fit on the rims of your new car. Without knowing what car they came off of, and what the new car is, I can not tell you if the rims will fit, or not.
Try to put one of the tires on, and see if the bolt pattern is the same and the wheels fit. If they do, you are good to go! If not you will either have to have the snow tires mounted and balanced on the new car's rims, or you will need to get spare rims to mount the snow tires on.
Going one size down is not going to be a big problem, your speedometer and odometer will be a bit off. Some vehicles with computer controls can be re-programed for different tire sizes, check with your mechanic or the dealer about this for your car.

Unless you have a really "tight" fit in the fender wells, they will fit ok, - they are just a little wider - You can see the difference if you put on beside the tire on car! The speedometer should read the same (actual speed) What you will have to worry about here is clearance between edges of fender "cutout" -- and wether it will hit the frame when you turn real sharp - the tire may rub on extreme turns, but this is not likely -(but how much driving do you do with the wheels truned as far as possible in either directon?)
The P195 is only about an inch wider than the P185, - the other specifications should be the same! Width makes little difference when the tire sizes are this close! Actually it is less than an inch, - if you convert metric to our measurement (185mm to 195mm), - the height and wheel size are still the same!
Buy a set of wheels from the local junkyard, and then you won't have to have the tires changed off the wheels every season change. Used wheels will work just fine, -- and then you 'll have "lots of spares" if you have a flat!

Just leave a day later or earlier. 600 miles is a 10 hour drive. Definitely doable in a day-especially if you have > 1 driver. Also you don't need to start at 6 am - you can start at 9pm to avoid the weather. You can also stop halfway. Lots of options that don't involve tires/chains.

NO!!! THEY ARE TOO SMALL!
185 vs 195 = 185mm (7.28") 195 mm (7.67")
65 is the aspect ratio of height to width (65% of 185mm=4.73", 65% of 195mm=4.98")
The overall diameter of a 185/65R15 tire is 24.46", of a 195/65R15 tire is 24.96", a difference of 1/2 inch.
So what? They are smaller, right? No rubbing in the fenderwell...that's good, right?
Wrong
A smaller tire has less weight-carrying capacity. True, you can over-inflate the tire to compensate for the smaller size, but you run the risk of lessened steering capability(which you do NOT want in snowy/icy road conditions), and accelerated tire wear due to overinflation.
Sorry, but the two sizes are not interchangeable.

yes they will. the 195/85 thing is not important, the size 15 and ratio 65 are more so.

of course they will fit. will the wheels fit?? in other words you don't want to change tires every season, that will be to expensive. so you will have to get wheels that fit your new car.

I think that they would fit, but call a garage and ask them to be sure. It wont cost anything and they'll give a professional answer.
