Nittos are known to be shittos. They are one of the worse tires (sans Nitto 555R (drag radial)) you can get. If you get 15s get 205/50x15" as opposed to the next size from 185/65x14" to 195/55x15". You will get a little wider contact patch, speedo and odometer doesn't change much.

For summer driving I recommend:
  • Falken Azenis
  • Yokohama ES100
  • Kumho MX
  • Kumho 712
  • Toyo T1S (although I don't think they come in 15s)
  • BFG KDs (if you have money to spend)
  • Sumoito HTRZ II
  • and if you want hardcore - Yokohama A032Rs
