Default Need opinions please (BWW)

I've decided to pull the trigger on the Flik Artic in black with a polished lip from www.edgeracing.com. They are 18x8.5 and weight 23 lbs. I can't decide which tires to get. I'm looking for an all-season tire with decent handeling and decent tread life.
<img src="http://edgeracing.com/media/image/1/11/59/zoom.jpg">

Here are my choices:

<img src="http://edgeracing.com/media/image/2/24/115/zoom.jpg">
Kumho Ecstasa 711H
<img src="http://edgeracing.com/media/image/2/24/116/zoom.jpg">
Kumho Ecstasa Supra 112
<img src="http://edgeracing.com/media/image/2/10/349/zoom.jpg">
Falken Ziex ZE-512
<img src="http://edgeracing.com/media/image/2/10/67/zoom.jpg">
Falken Azenis ST115
<img src="http://edgeracing.com/media/image/2/10/142/zoom.jpg">
Falken GRB FK451
<img src="http://edgeracing.com/media/image/2/48/216/zoom.jpg">
Toyo Proxes FZ4
Any help and/or comments are appreciated.

Default If you're considering all seasons, the only tires on that list that are A/S are:

Ziex 512's, and Toyo Proxes FZ4.

I have the Ziex 512's and they do pretty well in various weather conditions and have good tread life.
