Stickied at the top of this forum is the topic:

It says:

If you want to tell us what kind of car this is for - year, model, version, etc - we can answer your question and provide good advice on the proper size tires for your car.

Wow, you're asking whether to switch from tires that are way too big, to tires that are way too small! Don't get either of the two sizes you asked about. No way.

The best sizes for 15" wheels on your Integra are either 195/55-15, or 205/50-15.

If you need to use these tires all year round, I recommend the Kumho ASX all-season tire. If you have a separate set of winter tires, so these are only for three-season use, I recommend the Kumho SPT summer tire. Both these tires are available in both 195/55-15 and 205/50-15.

No. Get the proper size tires, and they will be better than ones that are too big OR too small. Don't waste your money on ones that are the wrong size.
