14" is the stock size (I have your exact car). I find 30 tires in that size currently listed at Tire Rack - Your performance experts for tires and wheels. You really don't need bigger tires for the purpose you describe. Save your cash for smooth covers, which you can also do for 14 inch wheels.

But there are other reasons to go for bigger, or narrower, or smaller, or lighter tires...

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
