You may have trouble finding 15" performance tires in anything but your stock size. I went to 16" pony wheels and have a nicer selection of tires!

P225/60VR15

225 would be the width of tire

60 is height from rim to edge of tire (60 is pretty damn tall!)

15 would be, fit 15" rim

I run 255/50/16's on my 16" Pony Rims...BFG DR

I second TireRack.com. I've checked out the site before just to browse tires for my car and have seen BFG 225/60/R15's on there, and they sell them pretty cheap. I'm most certain that BFG makes the stock recommended size which is that. I got the Comp T/A model which were fairly new when I bought my car almost 2yrs ago and they still hold up in the rain and even in the snow. I'd stick to that height tire, anything smaller would look "funny" on a 15" rim IMO. Good luck.
