I need a new set as well and this thread came just as I was looking.
I have a set of cup tires set of hoosiers and just need around town tires.
want reliable but not the cost of michelin for standard nonperformance driving.
Is there such a tire in your opinion?

235/35/ZR19 - $165 each
295/30/ZR19 - $205 each
The place I bought them from is here in Los Angeles, (818) 340-9444, Samantha runs the show. They have many of the standard sizes. I have no affiliation with these people, just a good set of tires for cheap.

Around town? The Kumho Ecstas, the cheapies (I got all four for $600 and change), are fine.
The sidewall is not as stiff as I would like for spirited driving, but for around town and some back roads, they're fine. You just can't drive it as hard on the back roads as you would with PS2s. Just throw those back on when you get to the track.
