Stock tire sizes (questions)
On my stock 15" rims i have 205/65/r15s and i got a hole in one of them and im looking to pick up a set of all season tires that came off another A4 stock rims but they are the size of 195/65R15.

RE: Stock tire sizes (questions)
Those tires have a slightly lower load rating. Keep them properly inflated
and don't carry heavy loads. Performance in cornering will suffer. Do this only
if the tires are near new, and you're getting a great price.

These are the tires
Kuhmo ECSTA HP4 tires. he said about 90% tread left or more on them and a price of $440 if they were new. I offered $200 for the four of them. But i just want to make sure they will work out well for daily driving in the summer and winter ?

I believe those are "H" rated, so you should be good if you are just a daily driver. Should fair well in summer, rain, and light snow. They don't perform well in deep snow, so keep that in mind.
My new rims will have the same Kuhmo ECSTA's on them, but in 225/40/18.
