Moving winter tyres from car to car

I've just bought another Dec 2012 Jazz 1.4 ES and I am wondering if I can put on my previous car's (2004) three-year-old Nokian winter tyres 185x65x15 on my new Jazz, which has got 175x65x15 Michelin Energy Savers on, or buy a completely new set on, i.e Goodyear Ultra 8.

My mileage is approx 8K a year on rural roads.

I don't see why not unless the wider 185s catch on something. Most likely to have a problem at the front.
