195/60/15... [0+] sizing

[peteh]

I want to change the size of my tires. OEM comes w/ 195/55/60. I want to go [0+] which means bigger diameter as apposed to +1 or +2 sizing. I want a Summer tire. I have Blizzaks on seperate rims,so no need for winter traction. I was looking at the Sumitomo HTR 200 [performance Summer tire] I do not want to go as radical as the Yoko's AV-ES 100 [ low tread wear and noise ] any suggestions?

The next size up would be a 205/50-16 tire. I'd look at the V rated Kumho Ecsta Supra 712, Sumitomo HTR Z2, and the Kumho Ecsta 711 in that size as the best bets for very good wet traction and lower noise without breaking the bank. You can check them out here:
