I have also heard great things about the dunlop kdw but i have no idea on pricing.
I believe the Kumho ecsta mx is a pretty good tire and you would probably be happy with them. Check out tirerack's reviews and ratings they usually have a lot of good info.

sounds about right. Ill check those others.
As far as grip needed...i know i wont get as much as i did with the michelins, but i want comprable.
I wont ever purchase pirellis because my parents had them on their volvo when one exploded at 45mph with no explanation, causing them to flip their car. Mom almost died. Luckily volvo saved her. Haven't liked pirellis since then. PLus we had em on the saab when we first bought it...not the best grip.
I drive 35mies of mountain road to get to school everyday...so tire wear should be atleast 15k with that.
I had continentals on there when we purchased the car. Were not stable at high speeds and trimlined like none other. (Although i did do 135 with em and they were ok...but after a little wear they were no good)
