Those would be too short/small. Keep an eye on the service description. In your case, those tires have a service description of 84S. 84 is the load rating, which is a code for how many pounds each tire is designed to safely support. The S is the speed rating, also a code for how fast a tire is designed to safely operate.

In general, the smaller in size you go, the lower the load ratings.

The stock size tire specification is P195/65R15 89S. You'd want to keep that size. That's a very, very common size, so you should have no problem finding a good winter tire in that size. Examples of really good winter tires include the Bridgestone Blizzak WS-60, Continental ExtremeWinterContact, and Michelin X-Ice Xi2. All three of those are available in the correct size, which once again is P195/65R15.

p195/55 R15 is wrong size, it will fit into the rim but the thickness is too thin, that will make the speedometer display wrong speed/hr, plus you will use more gas since the tire is smaller.

PXXX/65 R15 will work
PXXX/55 R16 will work
PXXX/45 R17 will work
