Tire recommendations for LX Fit? 186/60R15

The time has come to replace my original set of tires.

Any recommendations for 2016 LX fit using 185/60R15 tires?

I live in a warm climate (Hawaii) but the roads do get wet frequently.

I do very little highway driving.

Im not terribly price sensitive also

Should I get a wheel alignment done at same time?

My 17 LX came with Michelin Defenders and they seemed fine for the month they were on the car (swapped quickly for winter tires because Minnesota). You might get better rain performance out of a tire not designed to last for 160,000 miles or however unseemly long the Michelins are warranteed. afa wheel alignment, if the car isn't pulling to one side or the other and your current tires aren't showing obvious signs of it, it wouldn't be necessary. Save that for when you need to mess with suspension components.

Yokohama Avid Ascend GT's.

Best tires for the Fit.

Yes

Get a wheel alignment after the tires are on the car.

The YokohamaAvid Ascend GT's tires are much recommended but I don't believe they're available in the 15" size. Lot of Chinese tires showing up now under obscure names. Avoid at all cost and stick to major recognizable brands.
