195 60 14's will negatively affect the handling and your speedometer.
It will feel really sloppy when taking turns, kind of like when you are
low on tire pressure..
195 55 14 is a much better choice.
185 60 14 is the other stock 14" tire size, and they handle much better
than 195 60 14's.
205 60 14 is way too tall.
