Choosing a tire

Choices are:

1. Kumho ECSTA ASX- 420 treadwear rating, 83 bucks a pop. Read a few reviews on these and most people had good things to say about them.

2. Sumitomo HTR+ - 360 treadwear, 81 bucks a pop.

3. Yokohama AVID V4S- 500 treadwear rating, I would imagine you would get quite a few miles out of these. 97 bucks a pop.

4. Falken Ziex-512- 360 treadwear rating, 74 bucks a pop.

So far I am leaning towards the Kumho's, simply because I have heard the most about them. I am looking for a tire that will give me quite a bit of mileage and decent grip. The car will probably only see the track 1-2x a year. The car an A4 LT1, with catback and intake. It also is my DD. Previous tires are Yokohama AVS ES 100's. I didnt rotate them like I should, and probably only got about 15k miles out of the rears. Fronts are still in good condition though. The Es100's gave me really good traction on the street, only thing i didn't like that much was they were so soft the wouldnt really make noise when I would spin tires haha. BTW, if you havent figured it out already, i'm on a budget (college)
