alot of people are going with 205's on there rims to give you that better grip/handling.. they are a bit more once you go into the well known name brand tires but worth it..
195's is pretty much an oem replacement.

with the 205 will that be a wider tire and taller than the factory?>
195/55/15 factory right?
</TD></TR></TABLE>
a 60 will be a taller sidewall, and a 205 will be wider then stock. so yeah, it'll give your car a boost (cuz of the sidewall) and i dont know if you're lowered or not but you might rub on turning with those, but im not too sure.
i have a 91DA so im not too sure about the gsr blades stock tire size. im thinkin that sounds about right tho

Both of those tires are too large. The larger rolling diameter will effectively lower your final drive ratio, which will hurt acceleration.
The benefits of a 205-width tire (specifically 205/50-15) on stock 15x6 wheels is questionable. Many will argue that 205 is too wide for a 6" wheel, and the sidewall will be more prone to rollover during hard cornering, since the sidewalls will balloon out a little bit to fit on the narrow wheels.
195/55 will be better for stock wheels (stock size), but since selection in that size is quite limited, you might want to try 195/50-15 tires. If you don't mind a little extra speedometer error, it should handle a touch better and give slightly better acceleration over 195/55 tires.
I had 205/50-15 Yokohama ES100's on stock wheels before, then later got 195/50-15 ES100's (alot cheaper). I like them.

Re: (nabisco)
As I just said, those sizes you listed are too large. 60-series is not a good choice for Integras, those are for larger cars like Accords.
BTW my Yokohama ES100's were only like $55 each in 195/50-15. I'm sure you can find others cheaper in that size, too.

I've had 205/50/15 for almost 2 years and don't have a single complaint.
For now I had to buy something a little more inexpensive and have a set of Kuhmo Supra 712's. Not a bad tire if your on a budget, but I miss my potenza's.

Re: (RuskeR)
Yeah the main reason I decided not to go with 205/50 ES100's again was price. I ordered 195/55 ES100's but they were on national backorder at the time, so I just went ahead and got the 195/50's. They tried to tell me that the tire didn't have a high enough load rating, bah, they can each support about 1000 lbs safely so it's fine.
