I'm with Jim on this, someone swapped the wheels, and either kept the
alloys or sold them separately.

the 195 is the only size listed on the door? Sometimes Japanese cars will
have a 'stock' size, mounted on steel wheels for the standard size, and a
larger size mounted on alloys for an optional tire.

The resonance may be because it's a cheap tire, or perhaps just a noisy
compound/belt setup.
