Tire selection

hey guys,
i just recieved my new rims conceptone RS8 for my G sedan. my new challenge is tire selections, ive gotten lot of different feedback on what brand i should get. Now, where i live, i dont have to worry about snow or rain, cause i live in the middle of the desert. so snow/rain is not an issue. i need good summer performance tires, so i came up with the below brands:
rims sizes are
F 20/8.5
R 20/10

Nito Invo
Hankook Ventus V12
Sumitomo HTR ZIII
Yokohama Advan sport

which best suits my need??? my main concern is noise level and stability... your help would be greatly appreciated...

Are all of those options available to you? I'd factor that in first

i've heard very good things about continental dws'. i'm personally a fan of the bridgestone 960's (i have them on the sedan now).

I love my Ventus V12's. But my next set may be Advans.

havent decided yet, but shipping is still high with Aamir cause no one has joined in. There is only 1 person on that list that is confirmed...

I wasn't happy with my last set of Advans, but I've been very happy with my current and last set of Bridgestones. Both have been RE760s and they are a great tire and not too costly. Good benefits over the kooks which have some weaker sidewalls compared to some others I read about. I've heard good things about Sumi's....but given the price it makes me wonder why they are so cheap and still perform well. Call me crazy lol, but I'm kinda skeptical

michelin are very good, but also $$$$. the amount of driving i do a year 28k miles, is not worth spending that much money, cause i replace my tires every year.... otherwise i would have gotten them by now...
