Don't need manual to say ;D
Simple common sense. ;)
Broader tyre = More contact with road, leading to more drag, hence higher fuel consumption.
Height of tyre wall for 185/65R15 = 120.25mm
Height of tyre wall for 195/60R15 = 117mm
Shorter/Lower tyre wall means there is less absorption of impact from tyre side wall, hence technically speaking, the 195 tyre will be less comfortable.

Yo bro,
since u r on 195/60/r15, would like you to share if there is odometer error? So which size is the best fit, 195/55/r15 or 195/60/r15 for Latio's stock rims?
Thanks

and better grip and better braking too! keke
anyway, idone2u is not wrong in sharing his finding, he is just stating what is in the textbook and what the tanchong guys told him. There is no perfect tire, just THE tire for you, depending on your driving style and preference la. Because to me, its all subjective, especially when it comes to comfort, aesthetics etc.

to add on another question, wont that mean after the tires get worn down (less thread depth), does that also mean the settings will run? :confused1:

it also strongly depends on the thread pattern, and compound used for the tire. Put a 185mm lousy in the wet tire, versus a 215mm good in the wet tire and you will definitely experience the difference.
