Tires: TIRES VOLVO S40, michelin energy, volvo s40

Question
HI. I AM JOHN FROM GREECE AND I WOULD LIKE TO ASK YOU SOMETHING ABOUT MY VOLVO'S TIRES.
THE DIMENSIONS I HAVE ARE 185/65/15. IS IT WORTH TRYING THE 195/60/15? (MICHELIN ENERGY OR PILOT)
I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT MY CAR WILL HAVE BETTER DRIVING STATUS. IS IT TRUE? OR THIS CHANGE WILL EFFECT (NEGATIVE) THE CAR'S BEHAVIOR?
THE CAR IS 1.6L MODEL 2003 NO TRIP CONTROL. I AM NOT A RACER GUY. I HAVE THREE KIDS AND SAFETY IS ABOVE ALL.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME!

Answer
John,

This is an acceptable alternative provided your local laws allow it.  However, I don't find any Volvos that came with 185/65R15, but I do find some with 195/60R15's.

And you will find that the difference in performance between different brands of tires is greater than the difference in the size by itself.
