what tires should i get?
Im looking for 195/50/15 tires for my civic and I want good traction, handling, noise reduction, and good traction on wet roads too.
any good tires? Bridgestone Potenza and the new Nitto Motivo tires dont come in this size so im looking for other choices.

If you can do a summer only compound, Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 or Bridgestone Potenza RE11 if price is no object, or the Yokohama S.drive or the soon to be released BF Goodrich GForce Sport C2 to save a little $$$.
If you need an all season tire, we don't have much at all other than a Kumho ECSTA AST.

First tire listed (look just to the right of the large tire image, where it states the tire size)...

Secondly, every single tire listed above is available in 195/50/15 (which is the tire size you're requesting). So, you're either searching the wrong tire size, or aren't looking very hard.

If you're looking for All-Season tires in 195/50/15, your options are as such:
Falken Ziex ZE-912
Kumho Ecsta AST
Hankook Ventus V2 H437
Toyo Extensa HP
Toyo Proxes 4
Nitto NT450
Michelin Pilot Exalto A-S
(There are a few more tire models out there, but they're bar far less known manufacturers and don't have stellar ratings, as far as tires go.)

I know someone who has the Ziex ze-512s and they really suck. Kind of loud, no grip at all on snow. My cousin had the Pilot Exalto's and they are really expensive but well worth the money.

Nitto NeoGens are on my list...sadly 205 width, but well worth it in my opinion. I have Falken ZE-912s and theyre ok, maybe I'll go with a wider wheel as well. GS-R 15s are old and not the best look for my carro.

Some really good affordable high performance all seasons are General G-Max A/S 03. I just got these on my Civic and I love them. Check them out on tire-rack. Excellant reviews. You should also stick with the stock size of 195/55/15.
