I put budgets on my old civic type r, (~200,BHP) which got the same sort of use as you describe (not always hooning it, but not exactly Sunday driving either). It totally ruined the car. The handling went to pot, it struggled to get decent traction in anything but the driest of days.
I kept them a month before going back to p zero rosso s (Pirelli). The brand of those were nankang I think.
Conversely though, I have run budgets on my current car (140BHP mondeo diesel) and they have been fine, but my driving is much more relaxed in that in general, with no hooning to speak of (cars not suited to that sort of driving really).
I've tried autogrip tyres and also Westlake tyres in my current mondeo, and both have been ok, but the autogrip lasted longer and grip a bit better for me (18" wheels). I think I got a set of 4 autogrips for about £210 which is excellent for 18" wheels really.
