Default 1990 CRX Si B18CR pushing 215WHP - what tires?

I want to get new tires for my Mugen RNR rims. They are 15x6.5 and I would like to get 225/50/15 tires.

I would like some input on what tires will be BEST for BOTH grip and life.

I have been looking at the Yokohama Advan A032R's and they are eye candy.
I have also heard they last about 10k miles or more depending on terrain (roughly a year or more of driving for me) so I can settle for that.

Any input is appreciated thank you!

i typically use round black ones with a hole in the middle for the wheel ......seriously though its all personal preference here ....i have dunlop direzza's on my ef and they are incredibly grippy for an "all season" tire i definitely was impressed for the price but then again this is my daily that i push pretty hard it's no race car though ... it really all depends on what you want out of the tire ....if it's not your daily or you live in a warm climate year round you could go with a uhp summer tire or even a dot approved race compound ...then again that all depends on how much you want to spend and how often you're willing to buy new tires

Star specs or rs3's.

In that size, the rs3's are grippier for some reason.

Then when you burn through those, you will have a better idea if you want a longer lasting tire or one that has the grip and stiff sidewalls you want.

I've had direzzas and they were excellent for the price.

I'm running nt01 on my daily currently and they have awesome traction - will see how long they last.

Well I'm from California, it gets and stays pretty hot here especially living in the Central Valley. I really like the tread pattern on the A023R's and I'm really only looking for two tires to put up front because my back tires are still in good shape. I want something similar to drag radials but I don't want it to run out of rubber within 3k miles or so. Something with good grip that will last around 10k miles or so.

kumho XS and Nitto neo gens are both great tires.

BFG G-force KDW are great for the price. Definitely not for cold weather or snow though.

I'm looking specifically for 225/50/15 tires. The one you posted are only made for 16+ not in 15's. I don't want 205/50/15 or 195/50/15 I want 225/50/15 nothing bigger nothing smaller thanks.
