the profile (height) of the tyre is slightly different.

the 60's are slightly lower than the 65's (it's a percentage of the width)

as long as all four are the same then they would be ok, though it would put your speedo out by a tiny tiny amount.

as said the the speedo would be slighty out as the rolling radius would be different , some vehicles ie BMW / MERCS & MGFs do have different sizes front to back.
