its not what looks best but what fits best!

The best "looking" size and correct size for your car is 195-50-15.

What are you talking about! Actually on most wheels the 205-50-15 look like is has very fat sidewall! I think it look horrible unless you have 15x7 wheels.

Also get the correct tire size for your car, never mind how it look but more on how it performs!

Stick with 195/50-15 tires for your car.

(195/55-15 and 205/50-15 are good sizes for Integras, but are too large for your '92-95 Civic.)

they may look nice to you, but they won't perform as well as the 195-50-15. Also you speedometer will be off as well as you will have slightly slower acceleration!

If you have separate tires (or a different car) for winter, so these will never be used in snow, I recommend the Kumho SPT (USD58/tire in 195/50-15 at the Tire Rack) or Yokohama ES100 (USD52/tire).

If you have to use these tires all year round, including snow and winter conditions, you will need all-season tires, in which case I recommend the Toyo Proxes 4, USD51/tire in 195/50-15 at onlinetires.com
