I have always liked the Michellin tires.Some people don't like them But I do they ride good and are great for handling.

Thanks Tech. Do you know the largest size tire I can fit? I am thinking either a 205 or 215 60 HR15. It seems these two sizes should fit I think.

I would go with the 205's they are a little better than the 195's.

Just in case it matters to anyone I ended up buying the P205/60HR-15 Kumho ECSTA HP4 716's @ $44/each at tirerack. Just seemed like a good blend of performance and value for my needs.
