Tire Selection Help Needed for Stock Rim R53

My girlfriend had a few scares last night in the rain. We have already been looking at new tires for her '05 Justa on stock rims. But now the pressure to get ones is a bit heavier now. Currently she is running Kumho Solus 195/55R16 87H. I looked that tire up and it at they are $74 each with free shipping on Amazon, the shop by car feature states they do not fit,but that is indeed what she has now.

We do not need anything crazy, we live in AZ and do lots of freeway driving, she drives to Cali quite often. But most road trips and winter driving will be done in my MINI S.

Here is a link to what she has, and a link of one I was debating. Please any advice is welcomed and appreciated as well!! Thank you!!

Hi Alex! I for the record I did not catch that this was a Tire Rack monitored section, which is why I posted the amazon links.
No hard feelings I hope but my zip code is 85383
