Which 15" tires?
Goodyear Eagle GT in 195/55/15 on now. Looks like they're no longer made so I'm looking for viable High Performance All-Season tires to replace them in the same size.
Don't drive it in rain, but never know when you might get caught so I'd like tires that could handle rain if need be. Street car, no track use. Looking for a tire that can handle plenty of spirited driving

No all season handles well.
The tire to have right now is the Continental ExtremeContact Sport. 205/50/15 will (most likely) fit on the same rims you are using now, and they are excellent in the rain.
I'm also a fan of the 205/50/15 RE71-R tire, they dont test well in standing water, but for wet pavement they are ridiculously sticky. They also will last 20,000 miles less than the conti sports.

The tire manufacturer has nothing to do with getting a tire replaced. Go to discount tire, where they will warranty each tire for 15 dollars, or buy from tirerack.com where you can get free tire replacement for 10 per tire.
Get the conti sports and I promise you will crap yourself with how good they are. I drove a basically stock mazdaspeed miata with them, and it was a HOOT. They do everything well.
Or just get snow tires, you never know when a freak snowstorm will catch you off guard. Make sure to carry chains, too. (oh wait, that'sme lol)

Slight thread drift: are any of you using the 205 ExtremeContact sports on a 6" wheel? Between the inability to get 195s and the fact that the Contis cost 60% more than the BFG Comp2 in Canada, I'm leaning towards staying with the BFGs, even though I've had flat-spotting/balance issues with them.
