Summer tire recommendation for a Justa 195/60/15

Looking for new shoes for my Justa. I searched but didn't find much for 15"tires. It's a daily driver and we haven't had any snow here for 30+ years so I'm not interested in all season tires although wet weather grip is important. Recommendations ?

Continentals for daily in 15", good for the heavy ran and tread wear in the FL. Thats my vote.

Procontact, they lasted the longest, i went through a couple of sets but thats because i have almost 300K on my R52. I guess with three MINIs at once I have tested a bunch of tires.

Apparently the Procontact is not available in 195/60/15. Other recommendations?

I like the Conti ExtremeContact DW (for All Season I used the DWS since I live in the DC area). The DW (Dry Wet) are great tires and can still be had from existing stock, although it seems Conti has replaced it with the ExtremeContact Sport. I used them on my Mercedes AMG C63 (went through about 2 sets of rears every year for 5 years heh... I drove it like I stole it). For Winter I went with the DWS, worked well enough for All Seasons in the DC snow.. and when the season ended.. burned up up in a parking lot and put on the DW
