Need new tires. I am a noob.

So I have found the following tires, they are all cheap and seem to fit my 2004 6speed rx8. But which is better? I drive fast, accelerate fast and seem to have blown through my stock tires a bit too fast. What do you guys think? Or is there another tire I should look into?

BFGoodrich g-Force Sport
General Exclaim UHP
Kumho Ecsta SPT
Nankang NS-II

are you rotating your tires regularly? How many miles did you get on your stock tires?

Also read the ratings for the tires on tire rack's site.

Do you want more performance/grip or life out of the tires?

Kumhos are a good deal for the $
