Actually no. My M-Line BLM uses 185 60 R14
Yes. the 195 is width in mm. The 50 is the tire profile which is a ratio of tire sidewall vs tire width in percentage.

Yes, it will improve handling.

And yes it will affect speedometer readings. Anything more than 3% difference should not be allowed.

One more impact of a bigger diameter would be slower acceleration and higher fuel consumption.

You can use this tire calculator.

It's really useful. The recommended rule of thumb is to stick to within 3% variance as this will affect your speedo readings. The car isn't designed to handle tire sizes that are too different as well.

Me too sent my FL to first service. Engine feel more responsive. I don't feel any loss of power when the aircon is on. Maybe coz I'm using RON97.

195 50 is wider and the thickness is lesser.better handling and stability

185 55 is less wider and the tyres is thick.good for comfort.. smile.gif  smile.gif  smile.gif

195 is the tire wide in mm. 50 is percentage of thickness from the wide measurements.
So, 195 50 has 195mm wide and 97.5 mm thick.
Remember, thicker means larger radius or circumference. Will affect the speedometer.

But there there are 2 more impacts of a bigger diameter:-

1) Slower acceleration and
2) higher fuel consumption.
