Speedo reading

I recently put 195/60/15's on my car instead of the stock 205/60/15's. How will this effect my speedo gauge? Thanks

It should read about the same. Maybe 1-2mph difference.

It shouldn't but the calculator say different. So, I guess it could be negligible and either way I'd say it's minute enough to ignore it.
