I'm running Hankook HRII's in the rear. They weren't that great; I had them in the front once during a touge run, and they locked up a couple times under relatively light braking.

I'm currently running Fulda Assuro's in the front, they seem to perform better than the HRII's, but I haven't really pushed them. ES100's seem to get mushy when pushed too hard apparently, but that seems to be during higher-speed laps on the track.
If I had to buy tires again, I'd wait out a little more and buy KDW's.

On a 7 inch-wide wheel, 225 offers too much compliance; you're better off with a 205 unless you're running either z- or r-rated. 50 series is fine on a 15, maybe 55.

Lastly, 225's don't necessarily offer more contact patch than 205's.
205/50/HR15 seems to be your best bet.
