Help in deciding on tires for Sportec/10 18's.....>

These are my choices:
235/40/18 in
A)Kumho-Ecsta Supro 712
B)Pireli-P7000 Supersport
C)Sumitomo-HTRZII
D)Toyo-Proxes FZ4

Not many choices but I'm getting them with the GB on Sportec Rims for X-mas so I need to keep the price reasonable.
Thanks in advance!

From your list, I'd go with the Kumho Ecstas or the Sumitomos

Whatever you do, do NOT get the Toyo Proxy FZ4s

I have them on my 19"s and the traction is less than stellar, and theyre very very prong to hydroplaning in water. Scary stuff - my snow tires (Dunlop Sport M2s) hold the road 5x's as well...
