Bro, expensive a bit for short term or you want negative issues for long term?
If buy the wrong size and felt not satisfy you will loss the tire value at least 50% once on the road if want to trade back.
Besides that wider tires also will impact on fuel consumption, in long term the cheaper cost wont justify the savings from the tires if include the extra fuel usage over the years. Take example each tires last 40,000km, if each km extra RM0.01 fuel added due to wider tires that is almost RM400 extra.
The savings from the wider tires can get you RM400?
The difference between 195/55 and 185/55 is very small. In fact most saga users go for 195/55 as it is a more common size (easier to find, more variety and cheaper) and also little bit comfier (I can feel the car is marginally more comfortable with 195/55).If buy the wrong size and felt not satisfy you will loss the tire value at least 50% once on the road if want to trade back.

For fuel consumption, I don't even notice the increase in fc. Perhaps there is small increase like you mentioned but it is very small (400 over few years is acceptable for most people I believe). The trade-off is that 195/55 should be slightly grippier and hence slightly safer.
I guess it is up to users: slightly safer and slightly more comfortable vs slightly higher fc and slightly heavier throttle. For me all of these are very small differences most people won't notice it. It all come down to 195/55 having more options and people can get what they want.
