Tire Feedback Requested

I am looking to purchase new tires, and I am looking for feedback/experience that board members might have had in the past.

Bridgestone Potenza S-03 Pole Position
Michelin Pilot Sport
BFG g-Force T/A KDW 2
Kumho ECSTA Supra 712 (I've never even heard of this one)
Yokohama AVS ES100 (I've good success with Yoko's)

I am not a track driver, but I am pretty aggressive on the road, and I'd like a somewhat nice riding tire (that's not as critical as performance).

Any help would be appreciated.

David.

I should add that my present sizes are:
Front: 225/45ZR16
Rear: 255/40ZR17

I've done a board search already, and found that most lean toward Yokos and S-03's, but I'm leaning toward the BFGoodrich's because of the feedback on Tirerack. I am especially looking for pros/cons experiences regarding the BFG's.

The first two tires listed are very high performance, top-of-the-line tires, with prices to match. The last three tires listed are "budget" tires, that are less expensive to buy and whose overall performance is significantly less than the first two.

If you care about performance and don't mind paying more for it, get one of the first two tires. If you're looking to save money on tires and don't mind sacrificing performance to do so, get one of the last three.
 
if you want matching performance to the first two, but don't want to pay as much money, Kumho MX, (do a search!). I was skeptical about the tires before, and once I tried it, I loved it and it's on my nsx for 2 years now. good wear, close to best traction for a street tire, if not better than the S03, not as good in rain puddle as S03 but cost as half!!
