    What are you smoking on? 195/65 came on baskets.

    And BMW sold the 325is as mainly a luxury car to yuppies. 65 series are soft adn 195s are cost-effective.

    Shorter sidewall = better. And wider is better (until the sidewall flexes too much).

    195/60
    or
    205/60

    205/60 is almost as costly as 205/50-15. I'd go 195/60 for cheap on baskets (since so common as it's the Integra, etc sizing).

            I just about 225/50/14 toyo RA-1's last week but I found a great deal on 15x7 Kosei's with 225/50/15 Falken's

            The RA-a is an awesome tire!

                      Very, very good in the rain. When they are worn they suck in standing water, like any other worn tire.
