Capri is right about load, but I wouldn't say you shouldn't do it. My stock tires are 195/65R15 and I got 185/65R15's for the winter. I did pay attention to the lower load capacity, but it was within limits. I hauled quite a few things on them and had no problems. When I'll need to replace my summer tires they'll also be 185/65R15's, no doubt about it.

So my advice is to first check whether the weight limits will be OK, and if so then go for some skinny low RR's
