Tire choices

I've gotta decide what size tires to get for my Civic Si rims. They're 15x6 rims. One shop suggested 195/55/15s for them. Another guy suggested 205/50/15s. Any ideas on that?

If I were picking out the tires I would go with the 195s cause imo they look better.

Both should work. The 205s have greater contact area (wider) and should provide faster steering response (speed rating being equal). The 195s will provide a smoother ride.
