3.3%larger circumference on 65series,, so will probably just make your speedo read closer to your actual speed, as it no doubt reads low on standard tyre size.

The car manufacturers etc cover themselves saying that only oem sized tyres should be fitted so not to compromise the esc , vsc etc.
"When replacing tires and wheels, make sure they are the same size as the original tires and wheels installed. Driving with varying tire or wheel sizes may diminish any supplemental safety benefits of the VSM system"

And if it's not blessed with herbs, it will knock the crap out of performance.

What is the year/make/model of your car.?
What is the factory tyre size for your car ?.--if its a jappa the size is on the drivers door pillar.
The reason for asking is that 195/60 or 195/65 might be factory size or 195/55 might be factory size. -its a small increase but your car might already have as big a tyre size as can be fitted.

Check this site out. Will help you
I had 195 80 15s on (factory) now running 225 60 17s
with a .83mph difference. Good to play with if you looking at upgrade.

How do you know that?
Ie on what basis have you come to that conclusion?
Im not being a pedant here- Most likely you are right if the factory size is 195/60/14
But what if factory size is say 155 r14 ?
