Default wife's Integra has 712s and I'm not impressed

Why not run 16s or 17s so you can afford decent tires?

i've got the stock 16's as my winter tires... they're running pirelli pzeros on them... but the 18's look a lot nicer which is why i use them in the summer.

Default I've been happy with the Kumho KH11s...

...on my Forester XT. They grip very well in the dry. $105 each for 225/40-18.

Default I've been looking at the Kumho Ecsta KU19...

to replace my Goodyear F1 GS-D3 when they wear out. They are $119 at Tirerack, and the reviews all seem good. I've also heard pretty good things about the Sumitomo HTR+, though they are ultra high-performance all-seasons and not ultra high-performance summers.
