So something that will last a while, be grippy on the on ramps and do alright in the rain is what I am looking for.

fyi what you are looking is pretty much impossible (grip, last long, good in rain). you have to compromise on one or more, or accept you will get average performance in all.

also, no offense meant... but since you do like 100% commuting i doubt you push the vehicle enough to notice much difference in tires.. like i said.. pick up whatever is cheapest with the highest treadwear rating

and, if you are fine with what you have now, by all means, keep using it.. (if it ain't broke....) i only change tires if there is something about my current set that i want to change (example.. kumho 712 have no grip.. try azenis sport RT215... i have to go 50mph or less in the rain... try kumho MX.. they don't have as much grip as azenis.. go back to azenis sport RT615)

JC, no the closest size for RT615 for a focus is 205/50/15. it isn't that different from the stock size.. i get them from http://www.vulcantire.com great site.. fast shipping.. i bought RT215 from them 3 yr ago and now i went back to them to get RT615.

you might get hosed by duty though.. try to get them from a local person?
