The only one of those that I have used are the Sumitomos.

I bought them for my daily driver BMW because they were on sale at Tire Rack for dirt cheap.

I've been REALLY happy with them. They seem to run very quiet. They also balance very well - the BMW is very sensitive to tire balance and the Sumis seem to have balanced better than any other tire I've used on it.

Grip seems good, but its a street car and I don't test ultimate grip on the street! We've had a lot of rain lately, though, and the grip in the wet seems excellent.

All in all, they've definately exceeded my expectations!

That being said, they were at the time a lot cheaper than the other tires you have listed. For the same price, some of those others might be better for a street/track car. I just wanted to give some props to the Sumis!
