Well the only problem with buying tires for the fit in the stock size is that there is not too many options for the factory size. I work for bridgestone/firestone and i'm pretty sure that the only non snow tire that we have in that size is the potenza re92 which is a really good tire but i feel is very over priced and a rather soft tire (meaning it will grip nicely but will not last too long) I would try looking for tires in a 205/50R15. the overall size is a little wider and will mount up nicely and is about the same overall diameter. But it opens up many more tire options. If your looking for a good long lasting tire with good ride quality in mind i would recomend the Yokohama Avid T4's or the Michelin Pilot Exalto PE2 the Yokohama will last longer but if your willing to spend the money the Michelin's have a great ride and are overall pehominal tires. I currently run Bridgestone Potenza RE11, which is a very soft summer tire and I must say they are really good in the rain. I can't say much for the ride as it is a performance tire but i have gone through some really big ponds in the middle of the highway with the upmost confidence, and control. (I apologise for shooting in many different tangents while writing this) Good luck with your search, and I hope i was helpful.
