Need help choosing tires, can't decide Options

[6strngs]

so, I'm looking for people who have tried any of these tires so I can get some input on them. I'm looking for something that offers a ton of grip for not too much money. ride quality and noisiness don't concern me as I won't be able to hear them over my engine, and my ride is bumpy as hell as is. lol. in terms of longevity, they don't need to last forever, but don't want to replace tires every 4 months! hopefully something that'll last around a year, assuming I keep them properly inflated and get a rotation every few thousand miles. anyway, some I was considering:

Kumho Ecsta SPT
94Y 320 AA A

Hankook Ventus HRII H404


Dunlop Direzza DZ101
94W 300 A A

Yokohama AVS ES100
94W 280 AA A

BF goodrich G-force sport
340 AA A

now, before anyone even says it, I'm not getting toyo tires. I know, I've heard plenty of great things about them, but they're made by les schwab, and I work for America's tire... so I can't get a discount on them. lol. anyway, there was also some Falken Azenis and Falken Ziex tires I want to add to that list, but I don;t know the exact model numbers and what not. anyway, I don't want to spend more than $450 on tires. and after spending over $600 on wheels, I think that's fair seeing as that's more than a grand. anyway, for the size I'm looking at (245/40/17) I can get those kumhos and hankooks for about $75-80 a tire, which is the only reason they're on the list. I could afford to go through them real quick if they're only $300 for the set. plus I heard the hankooks are really soft tires, which should grip better than a stiff tire. I can get both falken's, the yokohama, and the dunlop for for about $90-95 a tire, and the BFG for about $105 a tire. of course, I'm still not sure if I'll be able to fit that size. if not, I'm 90% sure I can fit a 235/40/17, and the prices are cheaper for those, and if not those, then 225/45/17, and the prices are cheaper yet for those. but I really want grip here, which is why I want a wide tire. sure, a top of the line 225 could probably grip better then a bottom of the line 245, but the way I see it, a lower-mid-range 245 could out-grip a upper-mid-range 225. just going from 205's to 195's, even though I got a better tire, I've lost a lot of traction. anyway, if anybody could give any advice on those tires or even recommend some others, I'd appreciate it.

dont get the g-force tires...i wouldnt recommend them becuase i had them for only 2 years and 19000 miles they dont do well in rainy days either. it just depends on how you ride on them
