It wont make much of a difference.

I would suggest 185/65 R14 that would be better.

Are are your 195 section tyres worn out? If you are using it since long then stick with it. ie change tyres with the same size.

Hi Guys ,

Please bare with me for my limited knowledge on Cars & accessories , till now I used to think that I knew a lot but after going through the reviews posted by you , I feel I still have a long way to go . I am planning to go in for a Swift Vxi and am confused on which tyres to choose . Should I go in for a R15 alloy or R14 (actually I am bit crazy for BIG BOLD tyres) without damaging the car and what should be the right profile to choose. Is FALKEN not a good brand ?

The 185 section tyre would be a much more comfortable option.

@pramod-the 15" reallt looks nice, but there might be warranty issues.

Falken is a reputed brand, but then is Michellin! Hope you get my drift.
