Time to replace my tires - any suggestions?

hi Friends,
It's time to replace my tires. I was wondering if any of you have purchased (and installed) something besides the Michelin's, and of course, been happy with them.
I went to Tire Rack and saw the following:
Hankook Ventus V12 evo K110 (Max Performance Summer)
Treadware 280
Kumho Ecsta SPT (Ultra High Performance Summer)
Treadware 320
Money is a bit tight right now so I'd rather not pay for the PS2's unless you all have information that leads me to believe I should.
Thanks!

I have Hankook Ventus V4s on my ES300 and have been very happy with them.

I have the Vredestein Ultracs on rear in a 275/ 30 / 19 on stock wheel and plan on replacing my fronts when they wear out with the same tire. Very reasonably priced also .
Quite and smooth with a 280 tread wear rating.

I have new PS2's on my car now, but honestly don't think they are worth the premium price. My initial set lasted me almost 20k miles and I'm hoping I can get another 20k miles on my second set, but after that I'm going to try the NT05's on my stock rims for the warm months and have a dedicated winter setup for the rest of the time.

I have like brand new tires on my IsF and I am about to take them off and order the Hankook 112. I read the car and driver Magazine and it does seem like the Hankooks have really good ratings. My car has 2500 miles on it and I dunno what to do with my oem tires. I want to get the 275s in the rear also thats why I wanna take off my oem tires and sell them, Are they worth anything with 2500 miles on them?

Personally, I don't think this is an area anyone should skimp on, good magazine performance metrics or not. You bought a $60,000 performance car and want to save a couple hundred on tires?
I'll probably go with the Neova AD08's (or maybe a new version at that time?) when I need a replacement.

If a budget tire gives me 95% of a PS/2 for less than half the price, then yeh, I am going budget if I am replacing every 15-20k anyway. That's called value. If I don't like 'em, can always go back...
