Hoosiers are still the gold standard, but they know it and price their tires accordingly. The Toyo Proxes R888 might be a good compromise tire since it's an R-Comp but also has water channeling so you can run it in the wet too. The other R-Comps are dry use only unless you get a wet use tire and then they aren't very good in the dry.
After you get the R-Comp sticker shock, you might want to consider a set of high performance "street" tires like the Bridgestone RE71 or the Hankook R-S3. You can get two or even three full sets for the price of one set of R-Comps.
