What difference will it make to handling/wear etc if I swap my current Avon ZV3 205/60/R15's for 195/65/R15's?

Seems silly I know but I need 3 new ones and the 195/65's are cheaper so I'm thinking about biting the bullet and getting 5 which would save £80 on 5 tyres...

I think the 195/65R15s are the more popular size mate, that's what mine's got anyway. Actually I thought until very recently that you only had wider tyres as standard if you happened to have 16" rims....
