Default What tires to buy?

I have a civic with a swap, and was gonna get some 15" rims for my car, and was wondering what tires to get Azanis or the SO3's, i want an all weather/season tire, that is also sticky...but can handle the wet weather too.

please comment?

If you need something that can handle the wet, don't bother with the Azenis. The S03 is a great tire. I would also recommend the Yoko ES100, and I've heard rave reviews about the new Goodyears.

Azenis=not an all season tire.
The Potenza RE730 is a great tire. Has some very nice grip in the rain.

If you were going with 16" I would recommend the BFGoodrich G-force T/A KDW, which they unfortunately don't make in 15" sizes. I'm about to find out how Azenis perform in wet and dry on my Tacoma - I'm hoping it's not too much of a downgrade in performance (especially wet traction) from the BFGoodrich KDW's (225/55-16 KDW's Vs. 205/55-16 Azenis).

however i used to have dunlop SP5000s which were a pretty good balance and they are affordable too
