I haven't 'made the change' but my 75 cdt runs on 195/65/15 and steers, corners, brakes and rides really well tbh.
I think the brand and quality of tyre you fit is probably going to make the most difference, a poor quality 205 is never going to perform as well as a top brand 195 for everyday use, plus ... you'll get less rolling resistance which equals more mpg (in theory!)
A while back I shod one of my cars with cheap 205's .. they were called 'woosung slippyslides' or something equally as horrid, they were so bad in every way i didn't even bother to wear them out, i took them off and replaced them with firestone HS1's... not the best at the time but a whole lot better than the cheapo's.
Sometimes .... less IS actually more. imo.
