A little over your budget, but my recommendation is Continental Sport Contact 5P. On my second set of fronts now and rate them very highly in wet and dry. Not the most hard wearing, I got 13k miles out of first set of fronts but never skipped a beat, even in snow.
225/35 R19 Y88 (Audi RO2) with rim protector
£157 per corner fully fitted or £631 for 4 at

Cheaper at camskill.co.uk if you only want mail order @ £135 per corner

I've had 2 michelin super sports on the rear for a year now and they have been great, much lower noise for rear passengers on long runs. Showing no signs of wear yet, but you wouldn't expect much wear on the rear anyway. Looking to replace the Dunlops on the front with super sports also when the weather warms up, really think it will transform the car as the fronts are getting a bit tyred !
Have a look at the link...
Downsides are price, I was lucky to hit a offer of a £50 fuel card when 2 tyres were purchased, when buying 4 you could get £100 fuel card. The other downside is rim protection is pretty non existent. So stay away from the kerbs, I know the Dunlops have generous rim protector.
They look super sweet wrapped over Glendales.

GY EAGLE F1 ASY 2 still a solid option, rim protection too.

Me too +1, IMO can't fault them in the wet or dry.
