1) Should I go with the stock 195-65-15 or should I go up to the 205-65-15?
2) I can get either H or V-rated. I'm thinking of the H rated?
TIA!

Say I saw my error and deleted that post and replaced it with this response:
stay with the std size unless you are planning on getting new wheels, in which case a 205-55-16 would be super! (better handling than the 15 wheels!)
V rated are likely to handle better but generally have softer compond, an H rated tire will usually outlast a "performance" tire. I've had good rsults with Yokohama Avid V4S
