Stock suspension ATM, but soon to have a set of PIC selects.

I drive this car 100 miles a day 5 days a week, so I feel like 615's might be a little overkill as they may not even last a year. I have the stock rims with all seasons on them, so I'm looking for a summer tire that has decent wear properties (expected life ~20k) and has some stick to it.

I was looking at the Kuhmo MX as I've had good luck with them in the past, but they're on backorder.

Any suggestions in 195/55R15 or 205/50R15? Thanks.

Kumho SPT 195/55-15 ($44.80/tire at tires-easy.com)

So go order them NOW. Those tires usually sell for around $60-70 each.

A few other choices I recommend:

Fuzion ZRi 205/50-15 ($60/tire at Tire Rack, but back ordered; $72/tire at tires-easy.com)
Yokohama S.drive 195/55-15 ($70.50/tire at tires-easy.com)

You can save some money with these other tires, which cost a bit less (unless you're getting that awesome price on the SPT) and are a small step down in performance from the previous group:

Dunlop Direzza DZ101 205/50-15 ($49.50/tire at Tire Rack after rebate)
General Exclaim UHP 195/55-15 ($56/tire at Tire Rack)

I went with the s.drives earlier on tire rack, they should be here tomorrow shipping out of DE. Now I need to go grab some lugs and a set of locks. And probably an alarm now that something more flashy than the stock hubcaps will be on it.

They're reputable. In fact, at that price, I just ordered some myself.

i went through 2 sets of spts and they were loud. im currently running yoko s.drives and couldn't be happier.

I got my tires. for tires-easy.com

Mine aren't. But tire noise is much more a function of tread depth than tire selection. Most tires are pretty quiet when they're new, but get louder as they wear down (including the Yokos).

Falken 615 oils up too easily.

The Advan Neova doesn't come in 15" sizes.

Wow, this is your fifth post on the forum and both sentences demonstrate that you don't know what you're talking about. Pretty impressive.
