Another tire question/recommendation

Hi All,

I took possession of my Boxster 99 last week.
While cleaning it out very carefully I realized that my front right left tire had a plug on the side wall.
I already knew that I would have to change the tires on the car since they were different from rear to front.
The rear tires and Continental Sport contact 2 265/35 R18 with 8/32 thread left
The front tires are Sumitimo HTRZ 225/40 R18

I was thinking changing them for:
Dunlop Direzza DZ101
Dunlop Sport Maxx TT
Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus
Pirelli PZero
BF GoodRich GForce Sport Comp2
and the list is getting longer while doing my search, open to suggestions in or near that price range.

Another option would be to buy 2 new Continental Sport contact 2 for the front, not familiar with continental tires what do you guys think?

Since I just took possession of this car I have no idea of what will be my maintenance cost for the first year so I want to stay reasonable but good tires.
Keep in mind that I will do 5k-10k KM per year should stay in dry conditions, I never had a sport car before so no ''Sporty driving'' experience yet.

Seeing the quantity of thread and post on the subject I am glad to see that I am not the only one by the tire selection.

Sorry for my French and thanks in advance for the feedback
