Your car came with 195/60-15 tires stock, and so did the '95 Accord EX.

Get 195/60-15 tires.

It's crap.

First of all, it's an all-season tire (and a crappy one). Do you sometimes drive to snowy mountainous areas in the winter? If not, you don't need all-season tires. All-season tires are designed to provide the flexibility to be okay in snow and frigid winter temperatures as well as moderate to warm temperatures the rest of the year. They're a compromise, though; they're not as good in winter as true winter tires, and they're not as good in moderate to warm temperatures as summer tires. In California, unless you drive to other parts of the country, you're better off with summer tires, which give MUCH better performance (rain or shine) than all-season tires.

If you want to get summer tires, a good choice is the Yokohama ES100, which comes in 195/60-15 for $79/tire at the Tire Rack.

If you still want all-season tires - like if you travel to snowy areas - then the Kumho Ecsta ASX is much, MUCH better than the Bridgestone G009. And it costs a lot less, too. In 195/60-15, the ASX costs $35/tire after taking Kumho's $40 rebate into account, vs $64 for the crappy G009. (Bridgestone also makes the RE960AS Pole Position, which is an excellent all-season tire similar to the ASX, for $70 each.)
