When I got my Civic, it had Revolutions with 205/60-13 AVSi's, and spun
aluminum Taylors with worn out Hoosiers. I tried shaved (4/32") 215/50-13
HTR-200s
on the Taylors and despite the shaving, wider footprint, better gearing and
light wheels, I was no faster on the Sumis. Right now, they're "free to good
home." Keep looking. 195/60's should only be 0.48" taller than 185/60's. I'd
go Azenis...
