Just look for something that disperses water well. You wont get a summer only tire for that price thats any good, so go look at all seasons. Tire World in brampton is good. Id worry about performance over looks.

i heard the General Exclaim UHP tires are really good and really cheap priced. on tirerack.com they're ranked #1 in its class. from tires23 they quoted $500 for 225/45/17.

Summer performance tires could be as low as 500 or less for a set, but you need hook ups or wait for Spring sale deals.

Falken RT-615 and Hankook Z212 are great summer performance tires and can even be track driven if needed be. You will be happy with them in dry condition, but don't go too crazy when wet.

Just bought a set of Ziex ZE-512s, heard good reviews on them, and if you are on a tight budget, these tires are for you.

bridgestone potenza re-01's are great in the summer and when they get heated they are uber sticky they also work great in the rain.

Kumho SPT should also be reasonably priced and are a dedicated summer tire rather then "all-season"
