Hey, college boy! When you put on a smaller diameter tire, the spedo is
changed too! Its not reading accurate with the 185/55R13 tire dude.
(College boys crack me up!) So your 0-60 was wrong then. Bummer!

On the brighter side, your 0-60 times will in fact be improved with the
better gear ratio using the 186/55R13 tire VS the 195/50R15. 

If the Potterman ever gives my G-meter pro back to me, we can do some
testing with it and see what you got. (that is if youre not busy studying
or anything! LOL!!)
