DO NOT BUY NANKANG NS2's !!! I have many km's with them under my belt now...very VERY poor wet weather performance, sidewalls are not stiff and move around noticably. Grip was ok at first, but quickly degraded. Worst tire I have experienced so far and I've had some crap already.
T1Rs are ok under lightweight vehicles. Anything under 1000kg should be doable. They are also extremely sensitive to temps, just like the T1S's used to be. Wether that is a problem depends on your driving style. I've seen people that "work" the tires a lot chunk T1S's on their 3rd lap of the nordschleiffe, yet another guy I know ran them an entire season (100+ laps) under a 200kg heavier RWD car running 30sec faster laptimes. I've also heard a lot of good about the Bridgestone RE720, Mux has them under his car as well and is quite happy I think. Falken Ziex suck imho. Good allround tire though..relatively low noise, comfort is ok and low wear. I don't know the rest on your list and am not going to bother investing any money in getting to know them. Shortlist would be: T1Rs, RE720, the kooks. EDIT: Eagle F1's GDS3 are pretty good to, great wet weather performance indeed..no diff almost with dry..had them under my civic and liked them mucho..thought they were discontinued though.
