Re: need help with tires
Stay with the stock size. If you go taller, you'll throw off your speedo. You can do a search on this if you want, similiar subjects have been covered often.

They will fit on your rims but you better check to see if it won't rub against your fender. Going form a 55 to 65 is a big difference in height. It will feel like you've added lower gears. I wouldn't do it but it's up to you.

Re: Seat Covers?
The 185's would be 4.4% different than the 195's and will throw off your speedometer and odometer readings by that amount. See the numbers below. It's not a huge difference but you should try to stay as close to the stock numbers as possible.
Specification Sidewall Radius Diameter Circumference Rev's Difference
195/55-381 107 mm 298 mm 596 mm 1871 mm 535 / km N/A
185/65-381 120 mm 311 mm 622 mm 1952 mm 512 / km 4.4%
I ran 175/65/14's for three winters on my Tib but they are a little closer to the stock size. Narrower is better when its comes to driving in snow.
