What a coincidence...I had just done the same research on TireRack.com the other day.
The one potential setup I noticed you missed was...
Yokohama AVS ES100
(front) 235/40/18 - $157
(rear) 255/35/18 - $179
I'm debating between those and the BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW 2 in the same size. Pricing is identical. Anyone with opinions on either (or both) of those setups, please chime in!

Only about 2500. But, since I'm planning on autocrossing this entire season, I think I'll probably need new tires in a few months...
