Like you, I want to go with the 195/60/R15 size on my conv. I have Michelin MXV4 Plus 205/60 tires now which the previous owner bought and don't like them at all. I came to the same conclusion as you about recommendations on this BB. Also came to the conclusion that the V-rated tires that are available in this size are terrible. It took me awhile to accept the fact that I was going to have to seriously consider H-rated tires to get a decent set of tires.
After looking over the available choices on Tirerack, one tire really stood out as a good choice- BF Goodrich Traction T/A H-rated. Suprisingly, it had the highest overall rating in the "high performance all season" category. Maybe this is a relatively new product, because you don't see it mentioned on this BB. The V-rated version of the Traction T/A also did well in the survey, but only a 195/55 size is offered, which is probably not the way to go on a convertible.
