Low Profile 135's are available on Smart Cars, and are Continentals I think. About a 135/65 IIRC.

look for coker's website. You can get just about anything from them if it's tires you are looking for! They even have Michelin 135SR/15's.. Nice tires, Nankangs are basically copies of them. But they are nankangs.

The 145/65s are the smart car front tires. The rears are 175/55.

Tirerack.com has them both, the 145s for 55 each and the 175s for about 85.

Taking all the guess work out of it for you, just click here.

The 145/65 willbe about .2" shorter than the 195 and should get you the look you are going for.

This tire is also interesting. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/Compare1.jsp?width=1...unFlat=All
I think I will try them once my 145/65's wear out.

I second the 165/45. The ride is a bit rough when compared to higher profile tires, but the look is right.
