get some BFG g-force t/a kdw, in like 215/45/15 if they make them or some 205/50 15. you get some sticky tires and great all year grip!

.....plus i saved a ton of money by switchin to GEICO

theyy have a low treadwear rating so they don't last long, there are a few high grip performance tires that last long but they too don't have high tredwear ratings (like over 400)

the higher the treadwear the harder the "tire" tread is the longer it should last unless it starts chunking like my Falken 502's did

although not too popular, I say Kumho ASX or the very popular Falken 512. Also, if youre using it as an everyday car, 205/50 on 15's is too small.... but then you do want the low profile style so.....

^^ASXs suck, and you don't buy low profile tires with 15" rims.
Further, there's a tire calculator I suggest you use, and there's 20000000000 tire threads already.
