I have two 205/65R15 Tires and I recently got a flat on my car which has 205/70R15 tires I was wondering if I use those tires to replace two of my tires on my car. So basicly I would have two 205/65R15 tires in the front and two 205/70R15 tires in the rear?

There are a number of problems here:
First is moving to a tire with a lower load carrying capacity. That increases the risk of failure - and sometimes those have tragic results.
The second is handling. Different tires - and tires of different size - handle differently. You want the front end to be coordinated with the rear. If not, you could spin out - and that is always bad!

Tires sized P205/65R15 92T have a lower load carrying capacity, smaller diameter and different handling characteristics than tires sized P205/70R15 95S. Any store that would mount them for you has no ethics or professionalism and is best avoided.

hi capriracer is correct you have two things to watch out for 1;make sure that the load index and the speed rating are both at least the same or higher 2;the size you are replacing with has a lower height(but not much)but this is not bad i have give you a link to look at side wall markings this should help you. eric roberts.sidewall markings
