After doing the research myself, I just ordered a set of Kumho ESTA MX's... Tire rack had them for only $139 per tire. BUT, I only use this car in nice weather and these are a "dry" only tire. I've also heard they will be really noisy once they wear a little, but I'm going to an open track event in about a month, so they could be wasted by the end of that anyway.

From the tires you listed I don't think you will be dissappointed with the GS-D3's. They are supposed to have the best grip (wet and dry), be the quietest, and last the longest of the sub $250 a piece tires. Its what I would have gotten if I drove my car every day.

Wide Ovals beat the KDW's in the test tirerack ran. I'm getting them when I get my new rims.
