I just want something that'll handle a few canyon runs and auto-x's and get me to work, without being bald in 10k, or costing me over a grand everytime I need a new set.
Few thoughts:

1. Tread pattern has very little to do with dry road handling. (With the exception of fewer grooves = more rubber on the road = more grip in dry)

2. You're asking for a tire that doesn't exist. Grippy, cheap, and long treadlife doesn't exist.

3. Get Bridgestone RE11.

4. You get what you pay for.
