If you only need the tires for a few months, you could save yourself some cash and buy a tire with a lower treadwear rating. Check around for deals as suggested above.

yeah but doesnt a lower treadwear rating mean that the rubber compound is softer, not that there is less tread?

If you're looking for performance then I wouldn't go with any of thoses and go with a Yokohama ES100.

hmm very interesting but Im only wanting a set to hold me over for both drag and daily driver that are inexpensive until I get nice rims and tires for when im daily driving and then another set just for the track. im looking for a value in both of the above plus affordable around 60 to 75 each
