Default Went Auto-Crossing yesterday

Damn it's fun! But I noticed that all the hard cornering ate my newtires up ALOT! Does anybody know of a good auto-crossing tire for our stock rims? Or should I just buy some PT steelies and slicks?

Edit: BTW, my current list of suspension mods.
PT/ACR sway bar combo
Eibach Pro-kit
Prothane rear-end sway links (polyurathane bushings)
B-Woody traction bars and H-brace w/polyurathane bushings
Urathane filled stock MM's
DC front and rear Strut tower bars
Enkei RSV's 17x7
Falcon FK452's 225/45

Is there anything else I can add to my set-up to make it better for Auto-X'ing?

It is going to eat up whatever tire you put on. The problem is, the more grip, the faster the wear. Usually. I could recommend a cheap grippy tire if that's what you want. That might be a Dunlop Sportmaxx but I cant say it will wear any better.
Autocrossing is fun though, I agree. I did it for the first time last November, and plan on doing it again as soon as I can.

Whatever I get will be for auto-x or dragstrip use anyways, so it doesn't really matter how long they last. I just looked at the Falcon RT-615's, I saw some guys using them, but a majority of the guys there were running slicks. I think I would be better off running slicks. Anybody else wanna throw in they're 2cents?
