The car wont' get driven daily on the street, just DD type driving. It won't be a dedicated race car and will see cruising time on the street, and go to track days and what not, I just don't want to get a set of full race tires that will wear super quick. I want something in between that when I take the car out of the garage I can rip and roar around and have great traction, but not full race so that once they heat up and cool down they are worthless.
There are a couple of tire suggestions that I can make based on what you want to do with the car. I'd look at the Falken Azenis RT-615, Kumho ECSTA MX, or the like. Both of those tires are sticky street tires that are also pretty good for track day use.
I have a friend with a Miata and the RT-615s and they held up really, really well getting abused by three drivers at a NASA-SE event at Rocingham last year.
The thing to be comfortable with rearding any high performance tire is that driven hard, you're only going to get 10,000 - 15,000 miles out of them before they are worn out.
