Well... Clearly Falken, Federal, and Marshal and the worst of the six listed in terms of tread wear. By your information they all seem to be evenly matched when it comes to traction and temperature. I know that Kumho Ecsta's are pretty cheap and have good performance too. Those are the ones I will be getting for my 17's.

Those ratings are from standard industry tests. How's the warranty, if any?

If you really have a great "Z" rated tire the temp rating should be AA or AAA.

KUMHO ECSTA 712 is rated AA for traction.

Except for Falken, every other tire on your list has better treadwear rating than Federal. Kinda defeats your purpose, doesn't it?
