So what it sounds like to me as much as you don't want to hear it. Maybe you need to decide if you want a competitive autocross tire or a long lasting shitty street tire.
I mean honestly, if you don't have the money. Stop trying to explain "competitive" go out and have fun and who cares if you have no grip. Then get a designated autox or track setup once you graduate (btw, that doesn't guarantee money. Ask me how I know)
But I would also listen to what everyone is saying. And you have a second vehicle so you probably don't "need" to put a ton of highway miles on the miata next year. But at the same time, sounds like you're trying to build to purpose built vehicles and neither one is the purpose you need. Put cheap tires on the miata and don't worry about auto x or autox it anyways occasionally and don't be upset when you slide and tear the tires up. I autocrossed on corded tires and drifted the while course in my 240 and had a blast and I autocrossed in my m3 of sumitomos or whatever the hell they're called and understeered like crazy and it sucked and it kinda destroyed the tires a little bit. And then I drove Pete's m3 on r comps and realized why the hell they make race tires for racing.
Why not get a nice set of tires (whatever these guys recommend) for the street. And save up for some cheap wheels and then get some take off r comps at the track for autox
