It doesn't matter which size you get. Personally I would stick with the oem 195-60-15. I had the same situation with a nail on the side wall. Don't wait too long to change that. The tire may pop on you. No one would like anyone to get hurt. Stick with the oem size and call it a day.

i do believe it is a no no to get a sidewall patched....replacement is necessary
