Who is currently running sumitomo HTR 200 on stock wheels

I am looking for some new tires to fit my stock 1st gen wheels and so far I have only found some sumitomo HTR 200 for a reasonable price, others that cost like 2 1/2 times as much cash not looking to spend that much. How grippy are these tires and how big can you go on the stock wheels?

I just picked up a set of Sumitomo - HTR 200 195/60R13 84H for the front, and I've been quite happy with them so far. Its only been a month, so I dunno how well they wear, but for the price they're pretty grippy. When my back tires wear out I'll get another set for the rear.

When I was looking for new tires someone said you could go up to 205 wide on the stock rims, but 195 seems like a perfect fit to me.

I just got the 205's on my car a little bit ago. In a curve they seem to take a little bit to get locked in but they are ok for the money and I think they are a good looking tire with a good tread pattern.

I had those when I had my fb. The sidewall flex is TERRIBLE!

But for the money, a decent tire.
