there's a tire size calculator in the FAQ - that should help.

Dunlop 195/55-14's would work. Not many other options unless you go to a larger overall diamter- which will adversely affect your acceleration.

How wide are your rims? 5.5, 6 inches. Find out then check the tire rack's rim size/wheel size spread sheet. Also Wider is Better most of the time, but if you deviate too far you sacrifice side wall effectiveness.

If I were you I'd concentrate on what kind of tire you buy.

195/55 or 195/60 may be a good solution.
205s might be on the edge depending on rim width.
