I've done an air filter replacement before - do you think I need a new one after 15k miles or just to clean out the existing one?

Yes, you have staggered tires so you save on rotations and lose on tread life.
I always change air filters at 15k, but it it's a judgement call, varying much like the interval for oil changes... different strokes for different folks. BTW, your car has two engine air filters (I forgot to mention that before). OH...Here's a thought....You'll get a small percentage better performance and fuel economy with clean air filters; plus all that DIY satisfaction.
