Each of those sizes has a different diameter/circumference. With 195 55 15, your speedometer will be off by 3.4%...with 195 30 15, it'll be off by 13.5%.

http://www.ronalusa.com/shopping/ says:
"It is vital to maintain the same rolling diameter, when changing to a different sized wheel/tire combination. Today's vehicles, whether cars, trucks, and SUV's all have a form of ABS brake system. It is important to stay with 3% of the recommended rolling diameter when changing your wheel/tire package. Some NEWER vehicles even have computer driven suspensions which make this even more critical. The speedometer and odometer readings can also be affected. Incorrect sizing, will create a safety RISK!"

Your clearance will be .4 inch (1cm) lower...
Your speedometer will be 3.3% too fast...
The lower the profile the worse the outcome after hitting a pothole...

it is not recommended that your overall diameter goes is over a 3% difference of your stock wheel and tire combo. so no it's not advisable to go with 195/50/15. if you're looking to reduce the amount of sidewall you should go with 205/50/15

thanks for your comment.. i was looking for new set of tires, and the shop doesn't carry 195 55 15.. so they offer me 195 50 15.. and said better handling... now i know..
i think i will go for the Nokian WR H Rated ... i'm currenty have Falken Z512 V Rated, but it just doesn't last long.. i had it for 2 years and now need to get a new set.

google tire size calculator

it will tell you what size you should put in your car. and NO, 195 30 15 does not work... 195 30 17 maybe.

that little ratio difference from 55 to 50 is not gonna give you any handling advantage. Since its winter tire, the side walls will be soft, so.... handling GONE!
