You could check the local classifieds for some OEM tires. They aren't the grippiest, but they have good response and feel from the driver's seat and they last. Super cheap on the classifieds with or without the OEM wheels. Shame you're so far away, I'm selling mine!

Outside of that...Michlein Pilot Super Sports are often recommended as a good sporty street tire. The Continental ExtremeContactSport is also a solid choice. Both have good grip and response that's a slight step down from track and auto-x oriented tires, but they aren't super noisey and they'll last a decent amount of miles. Plenty of other options, and a little research will go a long way.
