with a size number we can at least know what sorts of tires you may be able to get... otherwise your stuck with unrelated recomendations or corolla owners only.
I think if youre set up with 195/65r15, you'd want to go with 205/60r-15, so that the speedometer isnt fat off. You need to run a tire size calculator to know for sure how inaccurate youll end up being.
If you can get potenza RE960AS pole position tires, I think they are quite good. Your point about the tire rack is well taken, the Pirelli P6 gets rated poorly there, but for the price, the performance for normal driving in all conditions is great... I have >50% tread on my saab with 35k miles on the set, and when Ive had to use them in the snow, they have worked well, to my suprise. Ditto on the Dunlo sport A2... some rate them poorly, but Ive had nothing but success with them on various card from MB diesels to toyota minivans to acura integras, even with use in various snow conditions.
