You might want to look at the Falken Azenis RT615 -- not R compound but cheap and sticky. Look at Discount Tire web site:

The TOYO Proxes RA1 is a very good track tire and some of people drive them on the street. But, they are more expensive!

As always, it comes back to how YOU use the car

I've seen a lot of cars at autocrosses running the RT615 and doing very well. I found them at a great price at the following site.

I will probably stick with R compounds for autocrossing; however, these seem like a great alternative if you don't want the super sticky ultra low treadlife stuff.

I have never bought from Vulcan Tire, just found their pricing to be very good.
