which tires to get around 400 or under?

You really can’t go wrong by choosing the Ze912 if you are looking for an UHPAS (Ultra High Performance All Season) tire.
They are replacing the 512 ,which are the best selling tires they had.
I have the 512's, so next time i will go to the the 912's. They are built to last and perform.

i know i have the SPT's and they are lack luster. i mean don't get me wrong they are cheap, but even the federal 595 rs(maybe just s) and the 615's are decent tires and are around the same price as what i payed at the time.
to the OP if you are interested I will be taking my SPT's off in the next month to put some better gripping tires on. the SPT's have no more than 12k miles on them. i can get you some pics if you want once they are off. i only want 250 for the tires, but i am not sure what shipping would be
they are 245/40/17

All I got out of it was an "oops, we're sorry".

I also happen to have ASX for the winter as well. I just don't see why someone should pay say $170 per tire for a "better" all-season tire. All you're doing in the winter is chugging around in the snow in them anyways. I'd rather save that $70/per tire and add it on to my budget for a good summer/track tire. Just my opinion, unless someone has a really compelling argument when I should shell out my cash for Mich/Yoko/Pirrelli/Bridgest ALL SEASONS?
It's like saying yeah I paid 2x more for a burger that pretty much taste like any other burger for lunch, which I didn't want to eat too much to begin with since I wasn't that hungry. Save the money for the bigger and better steak dinner man!
edit- though I have to say, if your winter gives you a lot of snow, you would need a good snow tire. But for me, my winters consist of 2 snow days (ave 1 inch), and mostly just cold and rain between Dec and March, a cheap all-season is suffice in my case.

I too have the ASX's, they've been on the car for >26K miles so far with one rotation and look like I could easily get another 10K out of them with daily driving but I'm not too mean to my tires. They're starting to show a bit of wear on the outer edge but the tread still looks like it's got plenty of life left
^the re01r's are out of stock for the stock size, I checked last night

This is close to you budget and you would be getting a great tire.

Yup, he wanted all season tires. However, spring is just around the corner and my opinion of all season tires is not enough traction in summer with the added benefit of not enough traction in winter. I know he is on a budget so there are sometimes fiscal realities.
