There are multiple threads concerning the quality of the Falken and Nitto tires, and various others concerning the Toyo and Kumho's....set the threads to go back 100 days or 'The Beginning' and read through, you'll find some decent information.

Nankang NS1. Have them on a friend's car to replace his Nitto 450. Minimal, yet noticable depreciation in turns. Louder when brought to the limits but slides progressively, while the nittos just give out.

Same noise level. Better wear (Nittos wore fast). Cheap price. No difference in rain.

Of those that you have listed, the Toyo T1-S is probably the most famous and revered.

Some of those tires are also of a slightly different performance category than the others.

I would do some research into this on your own too. Check out Tirerack for reviews and do some lurking on some other car forums. Also check the manufacturer's specs on those, as not all of them have the same qualities (like speed rating)... Prices will also vary greatly, so figure out what your budget is too.
