Huge of course not. But you theoretically will feel better grip, harder/stiffer ride, higer FC.

Theoretically maybe higher FC but in real practical terms IMHO not significant or not noticeable. You should note that despite it being 1 cm wider, it's also about 7mm smaller in diameter. The higher FC will be more due to going for higher performance/more grippy tires instead, and even so not really noticeable.

I changed that and the look is lower and handling us better. Comfort suffer a bit! Regret should have go for 195/50/15

195/50/15 is too small in diameter compared to 185/60/15 and the ride comfort will start to feel harsh as the sidewall drops below 10cm height. So IMHO not recommended, 195/55/15 is surely better.

But 1955515 will noisy ride.
FC not important, because very slight. I still can get my 14km/L. Or if a lot short trip 12km/L.

Noise depends more on the type/model of tires, not as much due to size.
