In that case I'd consider something that was the height of the 195s but narrower than that.

Coker Tire in Chattanooga carries tall/skinny tires that give you the rolling circumference you're looking for. For instance: https://www.cokertire.com/tires/styl...wall-tire.html

That's not as tall as the 195 but taller than the stockers. NOTE: the tire specs call for a 3" wide rim! SUPER skinny. Also very useful in extremely wet conditions, ultra-skinny tires don't hydroplane much.
