Potenza G019 vs. Ecsta 4X vs. Gmax AS-03 vs. GY Eagle GT

Looking for some advice on deciding between these 3 tires. All very similar price points, and maybe there isn't going to any significant/noticeable difference between any of them, but which one would you choose?

Purpose is all-season in New England, about 70% highway 30% city, and size will be 235/45/18.

Between the Potenza, Gmax, and Ecsta I was leaning more towards the Gmax. Threw in the Goodyears for the heck of it, although I'm not fond of having the tire's treads split into 1/3rds for wet, dry, and snow.

Check out the Toyo Proxes 4 Plus, although I don't need all season where I live, it's a pretty good tire so far, with plenty of treadwear 560a-a

I picked up the Goodyear Eagle GT 225/50/17 for my I35, and I love them. They're quiet, they handle the road, and I live in Wisconsin, so they have handled the snow/icy weather just fine. I had Falken 912s on the car before, and the Eagle GTs are just as good, if not better, with a better treadwear rating. I can't speak on the other tires, but nearly 8k into these Eagle GTs, I would recommend them
