940 Tyres

Hi

I have a fairly new set of 195 55 15 tyres which I'm thinking of putting on my Wentworth. I know that these should be 195 65 15 however apart from the speedo showing a slightly higher speed than is actually been travelled is there any other impact by using the 55s?

Can recall from somewhere that this can also affect ABS in some way?

I would imagine if all tyres are still the same size as each other then ABS shouldn't be an issue.

However don't forget the car will always be revving higher to acheive
the same speed, so fuel economy could suffer. May only be minor though.
