Default Help me choose a wrap for my ride...tire advice needed (specific inquiry)

Hey guys,

I'm looking for tires. Car is an EH2, wheel is 16x7. I'm going for a 205/45/16 tire size. Here are the specifications I need your advice to adhere to:

Price: Ideally $300 shipped. $350 shipped MAX!!
Mileage: I don't want to buy tires more than once a year. If they last me between a year and a year and a half I'll be happy.
Tire Noise: I can put up with noise. Of course I'd prefer minimal noise, but it's not a huge factor.
My Local Climate:I live in NoVA. Humid in the summer, winter gets to around freezing point and stays there. It snows occasionaly (7-10days per winter). I don't care too much about the winter performance of these tires. I don't have separate winter tires, I'll get some if I have too
Main Use:The car is my daily driver. It'll see some autocrossing about once a month, and I'll take it to the strip about once every couple of months. HOWEVER, I'll need some traction for those nights where I find a quick race at the lonley stop light.

Please offer your advice and suggestions.

Thanks.

Falken Azenis or Kumho MX's if they have them in your size.

They don't have azenis in my size, and they won't last long enough.
