A deep merv-13 with a lot of pleats can have a very reasonable pressure drop - you just have to shop a little more carefully.
I would stick with merv-13 because you'll get solid performance across a lot of things you might want to remove, from viruses to general pm2.5 and things like volatilized cooking oil. Clean air is awesome and tire dust isn't the only thing that's annoying.
