Hey Miles. Maybe you can help me with this.
99 Acura Integra, 205-50-15
I currently have Dunlop's DZ101. I think I have had them for the last 4 years. I dont do a lot of spirited driving, but I do drive more aggressively every once in a while. My car is basically a commuter, but i appreciate how it handles compared to my mom's Accord.
I am needing new tires soon. I really dont mind getting a set of the DZ101s again. I like the grip, it lasts MUCH longer than my previous Kumho MXs and they are inexpensive. Although, I wouldnt mind better grip in the rain.
What would you suggest for me, in a similar price range?
Thanks!

Hey b00gers, thanks for your post! The DZ101 is a solid tire for the cost. If you want an increase is wet performance the General Exclaim UHP is a very good option. Consequently you would see an increase is ride quality too while the tire maintains the sportiness of the Dunlop.
Check it out here:

Yokohama makes a nice one too but the price starts to deviate quite a bit from the Dunlop DZ101 and the treadlife suffers. Regardless, it's a great tire for traction in any condition (except snow):
