Default 15x10 tire options

So I just got my hands on 15x10 street lites for a great price. In an ideal situation i would have a set of tires for the summer and a set for winter, but I cannot afford it. I know I can run the Nitto 555rs or any of the soft compound tires but I have no warm place to store them in the winter. Also seeing as I am in Corvallis, I need at least decent wet performance. So I have narrowed it down to:

Mickey Thompson sportsman s/r

Mastercraft avenger g/t

Hankook Ventus H101

I was wondering if any of you have had experience with these?

thanks

I run the Mickey Thompson ET Street Radials on my 15x10 Dark Stars and absolutely love them. Great on the street, hook like a son-of-a-bitch and look great. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Would'nt have bought a 15x10 for any sort of wet driving personally...I'd go with a MT ET Street Radial and just deal with it. If you get caught in the rain go slow. Or don't drive it unless it is clear.

The Nitto NT555R is pretty good in the rain. Are you below 40 a lot in Corvallis? If so, you might want to go with an actual street tire.

In 275/60-15 the only tires I see are:

Mastercraft Avenger
Cooper Cobra
Mickey Thompson Sportsman S/T
BFGoodrich Radial T/A
Hankook Ventus H101

Cooper or Hankook look like they might be the best for the price.

There's about 2-3 months out of the year that the highs stay around the 40's but generally the mornings can range from mid 40s to low 30s from October-April, but it will be in storage during the coldest months. My main concern is cracking in cold weather because I do have a storage unit, but it is not temperature regulated. I could just keep the current setup I have now and run the nittos in the summer. I was just hoping I'd be able to find something decent to run when it gets a little colder so I could get rid of the current setup to recover some $$$. Thanks guys.
