Replace the oe tires with 155/80R13.

SLIGHT aero advantage over stock, but not much other benefit, and the front end will feel considerably more sloppy, especially with power steering equipped cars. You'd be better off, if not buying used or on a VERY good deal, to replace with a high mileage (tread wear designation) OE size tire, inflated to the sidewall pressure.

The GEO bolt pattern is different, won't bolt on.
