Yes you can, but it is not suggested. The factory tire size on your vehicle is there because that is the size of tire to make your vehicle run at it's peak performance. Just remember this: P=passenger. LT=Light Truck. T=Temporary. 195=Width of the tire, sidewall to sidewall in mm. 55=Height of the tire rim to tread. R15=Rim size. so R15 means that tire is made for a rim of 15 inches. The R means Radial.
