Ford Focus 1.8 TDDI - Ford Focus tyre size - Pragueimp

I have 195/65 tyres on my Focus, but the technical documents state they should be 185/65.

Is this a problem?

Thanks

If these are truly the wrong size, your speedo might not be showing your actual speed, but not by much.

What size wheel have you got the tyres running on? i.e 14", 15" etc.
