It really depends on what you want in a tire. If you want something that handles well and isn't very expensive i'd suggest the falken azenis rt-615. Thats what im running on the street + autocross.

Sumitomo HTR Z III's, BFG Gforce sports, General Exclaim UHP's (a little soft in the sidewall- also say m+s on the side).

The street tires Nitto sells I think the nt555's are great. I have them and couldn't be happier. They're not too expensive and treadwear is good as well. Great traction for a street tire. Check them out.

Nitto 555's are good for drag but for daily drive the R2 option has a stiffer side wall. I use the Nitto 555 R2's for autoX. Be aware that they are a very soft tire and will not last long.
