I need new tires, help out of the cheap ones first
Do you think think cheaper tires give a close performance too more expensive ones?

i had 712's on my z last year, hated them. only good thing about them was that they were good in the rain. thats it. one tire which you didnt list (which i dont know if it is discontinued or not), is the yokohama a520. had those on my z 2 years ago, and they stuck like glue in turns  loved them , and they were cheap as well. only downside to those, after 4-5 months they were toast.
out of everything on your list, the only other ones id be familiar with would be the gforce ta's. i think those replaced the comp ta line (but are quite similar, i think). had comp ta's 3 years ago, better than the 712's guaranteed.
as for the avs 100's, ive seen different post with differing results on those. when i was picking out tires last year, it was between those or the 712's. went with the 712's, only cause the avs 100's cost a bit more. dont know firsthand though hth

I had the 712's on my Z last year....they were ok, good for the price. could have lasted a little longer though. Now i'm using Falken ZIEK 512's...so far I love them, they seem to stick pretty well. Got all four for $450 at a local shop

Yea the sz50's look good. 360 treadwear, so they might just be as cost effective, since they SHOULD last longer. Where are you getting urs?

i think they are called kelly charger's or something along those lines...i have them on my car.  cheap ass tires, lots of road noise. if you arent worried about anything besides them being tires(no exceptional qualities in other words) they arent bad for about 80 bucks a tire.

Tirerack....plus they have the highest dry traction rating for a tire in the price range and not being a drag radial

Out of those choices, it's either the MX's, or the SZ50's. Both will be awesome tires.
The KDWS's won't touch the MX's for dry performance.
Myself, I bought the Goodyear F1 GS-D3's instead of any of those choices and couldn't be happier. It's a 275/40-17 size though.
