Question

Answer
James,

I'm a little confused.  A 1996 Saturn SL2 came with 15" tires - P185/65R15 - mounted on 15 X 6" rims.  So you could use that size.

But you could also use a P195/60R15.

But it would depend on what you are trying to accomplish.

As a general rule, this small of a change in tire size has very little effect on important tire properties, particularly compared to the types of change you can get by careful selection of tires.

So I suggest you decide what you want to accomplish and then find tires that match that.
