If you have the originally sized tires and have had no previous accidents or possible damage to your quarter panel then your rear spring or shock on that side is bad more than likely
I would use the proper sized tire for the 2001 Jetta of p195/65R15 and not the p205/65R15 as the larger size might rub against the wheel wells.
In general, reputable tire retailers will not go up or down more than one size step on any particular axle and will often recommend the original tire size stamped on the inside of the door, or the original tire size recommended for your year, make, and model vehicle which can change from year to year.
If the vehicle is running with the standard factory 15 inch (diameter) by 6 inch (wide) wheels, the tire size used with this wheel fitment was 195/65/15.
The sizes on the tires you have fitted now are found on the side wall of each tire.
It is hard to say what size tire you need.First thing we need to know is the size of the rim or wheel you have on the car now.You can get this information from the side of the tire on the car. The factory size :
15"-wheel 195/65R15
- 205/60R15
16"-wheel 205/55R16
- 215/50R16
17"-wheel 225/45R17
- 235/40R17
18"-wheel 225/40R18
The GL model came with two different tire sizes:
185/60R14 or 195/60R14, the GLX came with 205/50/R15. There should be a sticker on one of the door jams that will tell you what came on your new.
