Welcome to the group Cardone.  The 195/70s you mention appear to be very popular here and there are several manufacturers who supply white walls. They are slightly beefier than the originals. There are other opinions however.

I suggest you read the section in the technical manual on tires (third heading from the left at the top of the page) and also do a search on this forum by clicking on the fourth heading from the left at the top of the page and typing in "tires".  You will find a world of good discussion there.

Again, welcome to the group and let the Forum know what you purchase.  Pictures are always appreciated!
