What's the narrowest, roundest profile car tire being succesfully used on a Valk? I've had a couple of them, but didn't like the sideways pitching on rough city roads and went back to Avons when I moved to Minneapolis. I had 205/65-16's in the past. Any 195's out there?

Maybe this one? SP Sport 5000 Symmetrical. 2.73% smaller circumference.

actually found these look pretty nice, never tried them though

looks like it would help with sidewall clearance and close enough to not change rpm much.
