Well, here are my opinions (based on a (128hp?) '90 N/A base model):
I like BFG T/As.
I dislike Pirelli P400s.
I'm unimpressed with Michelins (even though they now own BFG tires).
I'm unfamiliar with Goodyears.
You want 195/60s, not 195/65s (unless you don't need the acceleration speed you'll lose by going to a taller & heavier tire.)
Get T- or H-rated tires for increased sidewall & tread stiffness (better cornering, less "tread squirm" (assuming you can even tell)).
I've currently got the 195/60-15 T-rated P400s, but think I'll look for the 185/65-15 T- or H-rated T/As when the Pirellis are done.
Here's another thread which says similar stuff a little differently.
