Question Looking for some tires....

I've been looking all over for some good tires. I thought about nittos but I have never really liked them all that much, then I came across the Kumho XS tires and have heard mixed thoughts about them.

What other tires would be worth looking at that wont cost over $800 for a set?

What do you think of them...What did you run before the 760's?

I'm looking at GS D3's but like the price on the 760's better. Just don't want to regret it since I have them for 3 years or more given the amount of K's I do

Thanks,
