Tire recommendation: Kumho?

I am looking at Kumhos (bang for buck) for OEM 17" rims. Driving in SoCal so I am thinking summer tires.

Any recommendations as to which Kumhos I should get?

MX?
SPT?
KH11?

Anything else I should look at (besides Kumho)?

Thanks in advance

I had Kumho Supra Ecstas for my 17's. Not bad... now I have Nexen tires appears to be better than kumho for similar price.

I replace my stock with Kumho SPT's

In June 2007, I replaced all (4) stock Potenza's with SPT's and love them. They hold great under dry conditions and I have not lost control in aggressive wet driving. Only problem is that they should not bee used in cold temps. Luckily the weather here has been mild....so far...
