Yes but the profile is different and will affect your speedometer.
Can you? Yes you can. Should you? No, you should not because the 65 series tire is 4.84% (1.47") smaller in overall diameter than the 70 series tire. You should never go over or under 3% difference. If you wish to go to a 65 series tire then you need to install 265/65-17 tires that are only 0.19% (.06") larger. That size will be an excellent fit. A 255/65-17 will also work well but not quite as well as a 265/65-17. A 235/65-17 will not work well and you should not install that size. Know that the 265 may rub the fender liner when you turn sharply so check that.

The 195 refers to millimeters (mm) and is the width of the tire across the treads. The 55 is also in millimeters(mm) and refers to the height if the tire from the edge of the rim(wheel) to the top of the tire. And finally, the 15 refers to inches (in) and refers to the diameter of the wheel that the tire fits to and the inside diameter of the tire.

It usually will, but remember to run same size on both sides.
