I know you probably didn't want MORE choices, but i'm looking at replacing my Pirelli PZero's with the new Kumho Ecsta XS:

OK, so it looks like I'm going to have to get new tires before the drive to
Reno.  I've narrowed it down to three choices that are both available and
that I can (choke) afford.  The configuration I'm going with is 245/40ZR17
front / 315/35ZR17 rear.

Dunlop Sport 8000
BF Goodrich G-Force R1
Goodyear Eagle F1 GS D3

I'm doing almost exclusively street driving.  I have Pirelli P-Zero
Asymetricos now, but can't afford the $500 each for the rears, and want to
step down from the 335 rear tires.  My Pirellis on the front are fine, but
the rears are past the wear markers (the previous owner either had them
shaved or spun off a few miles).

Your thoughts on these choices are welcomed.  They are all within about $100
of each other mounted and balanced.

Thanks in advance.
