Need new tires

I'm currently running mis-matched tires on the front. They are both Goodyears, but the rears and left front are pretty old, the right front is a new Goodyear. Handling is horrible. Feels like I'm going to loose control in high speed right-hand corners. Left-hand corners are fine. Suspect the newer tire has a lot stiffer sidewall.

Anyway, time to upgrade.
Choices are stay with the 15" Enkie rims, or maybe use the 16" Centerlines I got with an old GTA I bought for parts. (Still need to check the Centerlines top see if they are straight)

What tire should I go with if I stay with the 15" rims??

What tire should I go with if the 16" Centerlines are ok?

I don't really run at the track much, so the tire would mainly be for street driving. An occasional drive in the rain if I get caught out in it. Mainly want good corner carving, a decent launch, a decent ride, good quality and not too hard on the wallet.

The car has a lot of torque so I want something that doesn't wear out instantly.
