New Tires: Nokian V
These are my new tires, I dont have many miles on them, but they handle nice and have great grip. Plus, the car looks nicer with 195/60/15 tires instead of 205/50/15, it is more proportionate and matches the 15'' steel rims perfectly.

The wheel gap looks much nicer when it is uniform all the way around.

Actually 205/50-15 is NOT an appropriate size as it is outside the recommended ±3% of the factory specification ... 205/55-15 is the closest in diameter to the 175/65-15 stock size.

I got my steel rims from the Honda dealer, they are ment for an '02 civic i think. I origonally found one rim at a junkyard and then ordered them new once a fit was confirmed.
Ive had steel rims as my year round set up for about a year or more. I use s-heavies in the winter.

I think a stock holey rim and Conti tire is about 28 lbs by comparison.
