There are some people I know that are running the Nexen N FERA SUR4 and while it's not quite at the level of the RE71R it appears to do a decent job. It's definitely in your price range.

Agree re RE71R grip. They are as close to R comps in a street legal tire as it gets.
The only problem with RE71R is that they are made of marshmallows & melt off the wheels at an alarming rate.
Although rated at 200 by the mfg. , there is no way that they are a 200 tire.
Direzza ZII and Hankook RS3 are not quite as grippy, but still excellent & have decent tread life.
