Which tire?

I have a set of Konig Heliums (15x6.5) wheel on my 2018 Fit.
I currently have the stock Firestones(185/60R15) (16lbs)
I was looking at two tires to replace this:
1. Hankook Kinergy ST (185/60R15) - same size, light weight (15lbs)
2. Yokohama Advan Fleva V701 (195/55/R15) - slightly smaller diameter(-0.3in), slightly heavier (17lbs)
From these two, which one would you recommend?
The Yokohamas is the better tire in terms of grip, but wondered if I would be able to tell the difference in weight, and how much "off" it would look with the smaller diameter.
The Hankook is a really lightweight tire, but still an all-season tire, and I live in a place that doesn't snow...
Regardless, these will be way better than the OEM Firestones, so wondered what you guys might prefer.
Lmk, thanks

For what it’s worth I’ve used the Hankook Ventus V2 Concept 2 and would recommend them especially for there price point.
