Lightbulb Tire size

I have a 03 civic with stock si rims. i was wondering if i should replace the tires with 205-60-15, 205-55-15, or 195-60-15. i want something that wont mess up my speedometer. The website recommends 205-60-15 but tirerack recommends 195-60-15.

tirerack recommends 195 because its the stock size, but 205 should be fine. it wont mess up your speedometer. 55 series would look nice, but the diameter would be smaller than stock

I would go with a 205/60 its going to be pretty close to stock size and you get better grip.

I'd go with the 205/55 because the tire is wider for better handling.
