What type of driving do you do? How many miles do you put on your car in a year?

Tires can make or break a cars performance. You sound like you are after longevity above all else. Within the realm of street driving with occasional spirited driving, most $200 tires with tw of 400+ will feel similar to a $350+ true tw200 racing tire. But once you really start to push the car or if you ever decide to track/autocross the car the cheaper tires will be left behind.

IMO you bought one of the most capable cars in the world at that price point. Don't knock it down a notch with crappy tires.

Bridgestone Potenza RE-71
Kumho ECSTA V720
BF Goodrich Rival 1.5
There's a few other good ones too
