For a not entirely shitty daily tire (meh+ grip, treadwear & firm sidewall), the Falken 912's are decent. $336 shipped.

I always like onlinetires.com, super cheap. They can do a Hankook for $296 shipped.

Discount tire will match the price of any tire you find online with the 912.

I have 912's as well, better than other touring tires for the price. Comfy, decent wear, reasonable (though not track level) grip, not loud and a reasonable price.

Just got a set of tires for my wifes corolla. They are going to be less expensive from them including mounting/balancing that it would be to buy and ship a set online.

Wow, when I first got a Miata, I was able to get RT615s for this price.

I've used them at Buttonwillow. They are still all seasons but you can definitely learn to drive on them. I think 5 track days and around 2 years of daily driving and the compound is at 80A, hard enough for it to be almost useless (brakes have been locking up lately)... but they sure lasted a while. They are still at about 3/32" by the way.
