I have the 185s and yes they are slimmer and do get stuck in gravel.  You
can feel the difference from fatter tires when you turn the wheel.  The
skinnier ones are really easy to steer.  I think they look good, but I would
like to see a set of 195s so I know what they look/drive like.
P.S. I found them on Tire Rack and then shopped them against Discount Tire
and Discount Tire met the price so no shipping cost. I have heard they are
supposed to be good in rain and snow, but check the temp ratings.  I got
some Hankook V12 for my wife's car and they are not rated for freezing
temps.
