Favorite 205/55/15 Tires?

I want something that is comfortable for the street. I don't autocross or drive in anger but I like an agressive look. I wish the Azenas came in a 55 sidewall but 50 is just too short. Any ideas for a 205/55/15 tire?

Edit, that are going on stock 15" Cooper wheels and I am in Southern California.

Here is a comparison: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/Compar...=0&sortValue=1

Can't go wrong with either of the Khumos as well as the Nitto NT450 which are not on the list. For me and being on Bases with Tread design only i would go with the Khumos 712. for looks

Rick -

I run BFG g-Force Sports on some 15x7 wheels, and they do nicely on the street. They would fit on your stock wheels, and they're not very expensive. I've done several track days with them, and while they're not the best, they're decent. They might not have the "aggressive" look you're looking for, however.
