Default Impreza noob looking for tyres advice

Hi there!

Recently I bought my first Scooby, MY97 2.0 AWD wagon and I'm looking for a summer tyres advice. Currently I have Michelin Alpin 195/60-R15 winter tyres on standard 15" Subaru wheels and it is time to take it off. I would like to keep the wheels and just replace the tyres.
I was a point A to point B driver before I bought Impreza but now I sterted to enjoy in driving so I'm looking for a high performance tyres for wet and dry roads. I know there is no ultra high performance tyres in size I need and to be honest I don't think I need it.
So far I was thinking about Pirelli P7 or Bridgestone ER300 and just wonder what are other users opinion and experience, which are good tyres on an old Impreza?
Any help?

Best regards,
Zvonimir

Goodyear F1`s all year round, very very good tyres and cheap in the smaller sizes.

Another vote for the Toyos.

Thanks guys for reply.
Unfortunately both Toyo and GY is not available in 195/60-15 and I'm short to buy new wheels.
However, I expanded my search and included GY Hydragrip and Vredestein Sportrac3 into my wishlist. So, now I wonder what would be better choice between P7, ER300, Sportrac3 and Hydragrip?
I'm not pushing hard on public streets but usually don't slow down on wet roads.

Best regards,
Zvonimir
