Anyone have experience with Dunlop Direzza, Kumho Ecsta, or Hankook Ventus? Those are the ones I've narrowed it down to.
The site I normally use is tirerack.

At the Rack, shipped:
Direzza - $843.32
Ecsta - $607.92
Ventus - $773.08
Looks like the Ecsta is your tire.
Note: all three tires have a Treadlife Warranty of "None". Depending upon your driving conditions (e.g., heat) and style (e.g, spirited), I suggest thinking in terms of 8-12,000 miles from tires in this class.
