Question tire help please

Hi guys. Having trouble finding tires for my 1992 Honda Accord EX Coupe. My size seems to be unpopular these days. I visited my local Les Schwab and yesterday hoping to replace my Michelin Pilot Exalto A/S tires with the same or next gen. I was told by the LS guy that I should get Toyo Ultra Z-900s. The description on the Les Schwab website says "By these, they're the best". That's it, nothing about traction, handling or anything else of importance. The guy in the shop offered to show me the tread pattern, but I do not have the expertise to make a judgement like this. I need info and ratings on the important qualities of the tire. I live in Oregon now and the climate is such that I no longer run summer and winter tires. Instead, I need an all season tire that is Excellent in the WET and in the dry. Tread life and noise are of little concern at this point. My car is loud and she is got 240k miles. I want good tires that handle well at speed and are not going to slip on me during 9 months of rain. My online search has lead me to Yokohama Avid ENVigor and little else. I had Goodyear Eagles many years ago and was unimpressed, I have had Dunlops too that were good, not great. I liked these Michelin's and am disappointed that they have been discontinued. I would appreciate any recommendations you might have. Thank you and kind regards, Kim

Shop by size or shop by car make/model/year.
195/60 R15 isn't a particularly unusual size.
