Can 205 65 R15 tires substitute 215 50R17?

No, this is a very bad substitute. You cannot go from a 50 series to a 65 series on this car if the 215/50-17 is the OEM size. You can go with a 195/55-17 which is a perfect swap or a 205/55-17 which although not perfect is acceptable.ANS 2 - He's not even talking about the same RIMsize -R15 and R17 ! - NO way can these be substituted.

What are the correct tire size for 1999 mercury cougar?

It depends on what wheels your cougar came with. If you have the 15 inch, six spoke fan blade wheels, you need 205/60 tires, if you have the 16 inch, sport package wheels, you need the harder to find, 215/50 tires. 17 inch wheels were not available in '99 to the best of my knowledge. If you have trouble finding the 215/50/16 tires, both the more common 225/50 tires, and the 215/55 tires can be used without much problem.

What tires will replace 195 55 15 tires?

You can switch to a 215/50-15 or 175/60-15 if you can find any tires in these sizes. Other optional tires which are acceptable are 205/50-15 and 185/60-15 which you can find. My advice is to stick with the OEM size.
