Marc,
Expect to pay about the same $$ per tire as you do for most street tires.
Depending on what size you go with, all of the Autocross Radials meet your
criteria just about equally. The major differences between BFG's, Kumho
and Hoosier are noticed esoterically and can be influenced by car
type/setup and driving style.
Some people love the Hoosier AS03, I preferred the old R1. Strictly
personal preference.
Any "R" tire will be an improvement over your Nittos!!! ;-)
