ok, thats the same size that works well on a zx2, so here's what I found:

tirerack.com
bridgestone D381's
kumho eco-solus kr22's
cooper gfe (local tire store)

i'm leaning toward the kumho's myself because they are priced a good 20 bux a tire less than the others, and have good reviews from people who have changed out other oem LRR tires (goodyear) for them.

Also, if you want to add a little height to the tire, you can easily run a 185/70-14, and this would drop your engine rpms at any given speed by 3%. This also means that when your speedo reads 60mph, you're doing almost 63mph. KR22's come in this size too.
