I faced almost exactly this question a few months back. '97 CSE, not a tuner, verbally assisted by another adult (nice), etc. I bought the Goodyear Assurance Triple Treds (205/60/15) and have been quite pleased. They ride smoothly on our pothole-filled Boston roads and handle well in rain and light snow (but for the heavy stuff you still need snows). They may be more of an all-weather tire than you need in CA.
Also bought a couple of sets of Kumho Ecsta HP4s for our 1990 9KT and 1999 9-5 and like them too. They're cheaper than the Goodyears.
I've thought about putting 16" wheels on the CSE but have been too cheap to act. I'm told they improve performance at some sacrifice of ride quality. I'm currently enjoying how much more comfortable the CSE is than the 1990, so am unlikely to make a change any time soon.
Good luck!
