Recommended summer tire sizes and make/model? 850

My '94 855 has the stock 15" Cetus wheel, currently shod with a (rather worn) set of 195/60 all seasons. Since I took the plunge and bought snows this winter (Gislaved Nord Frost II's - friggin' AWESOME!), I figured I would try to get a little more performance out of my new summer rubber.

What are some size and brand/model recommendations for an improved summer or all-season tire? The requirements are 1) the fit on my stock rims [no budget for new wheels], 2) they can't sacrifice too much in the way of ride comfort [not looking for ultra-low profile here] and 3) they can't break the bank [s/b around $100 per tire or less]

Any suggestions? Thanks.
