Yes you can as long as the rim diameter is the same. You left off the last number on your size. The sidewall will be taller on the 65 versus the 55 and this will affect the overall diameter of the tire so your speedometer may/will be off depending on the year of your car. The 65 will make less revolutions per mile than the 55.

Are 225 70R 16 tires interchangeable with 225 65R 16?

Ideally you should have four tires on the car that match. With that being said you can certainly replace your 65r tires with 70r tires. The 70 refers to the width of the tire and a 70 is slightly narrower than a 65. The lower the number the wider the tire. I would not put 1 65 width tire on one side and a 70 width on the other side of the car, they will wear unevenly.
