I am in the process of shopping for tires to replace my noisey Goodyear RS-As.
Currently, I am looking at Pirelli P6000s, Goodyear HP Ultras, Micheline Pilot XGTH4s.

Any suggestions for something better without paying BIG$$$?

People here have used Dunlop W10's before. They all seem to be pretty happy with the performance. One guy got 35K miles on his last set, which is really high for a fairly high performance tire. I think they're a little more expensive than what you've been looking at, but still around $80-85, which is quite reasonable.

I think the new Bridgestone RE730 come in 215-55's, also, but they may be a little more expensive. Those are rated as summer tires, though (good handling in rain but not in cold temperatures or snow). I think the W10's are all season, though...not sure.

 

Michelin MXV4 VR rated are nice..but $$.
all season tire too.
