Not the actual size I have (I have 195/65R15), but the same damn leaves.
I guess they go with the leaves on the floormats?
Yes, the floormats in my car look like that. They came with the car. (Admittedly, I wanted rubber mats. I... didn’t need a leaf on them.)
Alright, time to go smell my own farts.

Humm, yeah I’m not a big fan of rubber mats, but it seems Toyota found a way to make me like them less. As for the tires, my old car used that size (I think), and tire selection was definitely limited. For my (not so new) car, I’ve just bought a set of Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+. I don’t expect them to be economical but currently I have two tires with low tread, one of which is leaking , and another that was driven on while very flat so I don’t especially trust it, so I’m pretty sure the new ones will be an upgrade.

That's interesting...your size is the same as those fitted to many 90s cargo vans from Europe.

195/65R15 has plenty of selection if you don’t want high performance, I specifically wanted to try the tire with the leaves (better treadwear rating, reports of less road noise, and better efficiency).
...I didn’t realize it had leaves on it.

That doesn’t surprise me - I mean, it was the size that many midsize cars there used in the 90s AFAIK, and then compacts moved to it in the late 90s.
Basically it’s the standard size for a compact car’s base 15" wheel option nowadays.

That might just be worse.
Of course, you could have Kumhos with flowers in them: https://jalopnik.com/358810/ecsta-dx-aroma-tires-make-burnouts-smell-like-flowers
