I'd take a look at your sidewall and check as your typo is probably that you have a 55 series tire that you called a 65 series tire. The only only 195/65/16 that I am aware of being available right now is the Vanco.
Most people that have Nomads are using 60 series. That is what I just changed off of mine. Couldn't find one here local to replace it so I changed to a Turanza 60 series which is slightly larger.

The 60 will drop your back end some. Taminator and I are not little people so we dragged pipes on the SP but not on the Turanza.
