Comp TAs are a good "all around" performance tire.
I have puchased many times from Tire Rack and have always been happy.

I'm not sure if they make one in your size, but the Potenza RE930s are good all around tires. I have RE730s and they're the best tires I've ever had on a Camaro, but I'm kinda sure they don't make those in 15 inch.

I'll attach a pic of my car so you can see 'em, but I've got a set of Yokohama Avid S/T's on my car. I think I got them from tirerack.com for about $53 a tire. They're T speed rated (118) and I think were 50,000 mile tires. They are quieter and grab the road better than the Futura GLS's they replaced. I like 'em!

FYI

You could have got a set of 235/60R15 Comp T/A VR4s at Tirerack.com for a little more ($390). I have experience with both the HR4s and VR4s and its amazing how much better the VR4s are. Too bad they don't sell VR4s in 225/60 anymore, I only need 3 new ones since I replaced a punctured tire a few years ago. Guess I'll have to buy a whole new set.
