Is there a typo here?

I'm no expert but my understanding is that 185 and 195 indicate the
tread width in millimeters. In other words, you are getting a tire that
is about 2/5 of an inch wider. This may provide slightly better grip in
cornering, everything else being equal. (Tread pattern, compound
hardness, tire pressure, slip angles...)

But since they are both 60 profile I think the diameter will be exactly
the same, hence the speedo/odo will not be affected.
