I was in the same boat as you, wanted to stay around $500 and wanted great tires. I decided to run 225 star specs on my Miata and they are amazing. I drive very spiritedly to say the least have have put around 6-7k miles on them and they are going strong.

One thing though, if you can wait a little while they usually have rebates once or twice a year. This saved me around 75$ and put them under the cost of many that you posted. Run the stocks for awhile and wait for a good deal on great tires!
