195/60/15 seem a little narrow but in a pinch they will work. I am running 255/70/15 on my 00 mounty
 






i wouldnt recommend it. that tire size you have there cant have a load capacity any higher than 88, which is a maximum wieght of 1200 lbs. where as the normal 235/75r15 base tire would have 105 thats 2050 lbs. if the reason is you have four flat tires and have to go to the hospital, i would, but to drive to work simply becuase their snow tires... never!
 






Those are way too small.. Heck my daily driver has bigger tires than that :D
 






There's a question I've never come across on this site. Usually everyone's tryin to stuff their wheel wells :D
 






to note on this thread i was asking THEY ARE TOOOO FREAKING SMALL HAHAH
