If you don't like my suggestion in my other post for 175/70/13 tires, you could also look at 185/70r13. If the 195s you are using now don't rub on anything, the 185s shouldn't either and they will give a wider contact patch on the ground than the 175s. According to the online calculator the speedometer error with 185/70s will be reduced compared to both the 195/60s and the 175/70s.
Tire Rack, Walmart online, and Tirebuyer.com all list 185/70r13s available in Kumho Solus (the ones we just replaced). Discount Tire lists Falken's available in that size. I found a few online vendors selling Coopers and Toyos in 185/70s. I found a whole bunch of little known (probably Chinese) tires in 185/70r13s. The Kumhos we had were OK, we just decided to try the higher rated Generals this time. I still have a set of Kumhos on the GT6.
Anyway, the 185/70r13s would give you a slightly wider tire than 175/70s we bought and you certainly will have a few choices in that size. However, you will have more choices of name brand tires with the 175/70s.
Let us know which ones you go with.
