Presently I have 205/65 R15 on my 2000 toyota camry. I'm thinking
about replacing these all seasons again with all seasons but one size
smaller - 195/65 R15. The reason for the smaller size is for better
grip in snow and water (hate the aqua planing in water and floating on
the snow ruts on the highway) yet still don't comprimise the overall
handling of the car for the rest of the seasons. Any thoughts?

A crappy tire in 205/65R15 won't work much better in size 195/65R15.

Use www.tirerack.com to find GOOD all season radials in the proper
size for your car. If you live where the snow gets deep, you might
consider buying a set of winter tires/wheels. For most of us a set of
FOUR Michelin HydroEdge or Goodyear Assurance TripleTred tires should
suffice. Don't cheap out, buy 4 new tires. Read some user reviews to
get a feel for how the tires work for folks who drive cars of
comparable size in comparable conditions.
