*What kind of car? (need to know size of wheel well)
*Will you need to use tires in snow? (need to know if you need summer tire or all season)
*Is your budget under $350 / $400 / 450?

Good questions.
And to what extent are you willing to trade off performance for cost?
Depending on the size you need, you can get a top-performing but expensive tire like the Michelin Pilot Sport PS2, the Bridgestone S-03, or the slightly less expensive Goodyear F1 GS-D3 (not much available for 15" in the Goodyear or Michelin though); you can trade off a little less performance for a bit lower cost with the Toyo T1-S or Kumho MX; or you can trade off even more performance for a lower-priced "bang for the buck" tire like the Yokohama AVS ES100. Any of these tires should last a lot longer than the Azenis.

Maybe others might disagree with me, but I would stay with 205/50-15 because:
There is a HUGE selection of 205/50-15 tires...
The selection of <U>good</U> 215/50-15 tires is real small...
If you go to 225/50-15 on an EG body it is more likely you would get into rubbing issues when the car is dropped (even tho +40 to a +44 offset is okay).
nsxtasy mentioned Yokohama AVS ES100 tires. You should check them out--I have used a set on a 2001 Civic and they have done well in the wet/dry for a decent price. Also look at Bridgestone Potenza RE750's if you don't want to pay the $$ for the S-03 Pole Positions.
