205/65 R15 doesn't belong to the most popular dimensions for winter tyres - there are 64 tyre models available, which can be compared to 175/65 R14, 235/55 R18, 215/60 R16.

The total circumference of the tyre is 2034.18 mm, which is very similar to 275/30 R19(2034.5 mm), 180/60 R17(2035.12 mm), 235/35 R19(2032.92 mm), 215/50 R17(2031.98 mm), 235/30 R20(2038.89 mm), 160/60 R18(2039.52 mm), 275/35 R18(2041.09 mm).
