The only tires from that list that i think are pretty good are the Ventus. I work for a tire shop and i am not fond of Extreme Contacts or Ecstas. Personally i'd go for the Dunlop Direzza Star Specs. That's my own personal preference, i'm not trying to say they stomp all other tires. However, they are good tires and they are relatively inexpensive($145 for 215/45/17) for their performance-- they just tend to get sort of greasy at high temperatures. If you're just using them for street use and Auto X i think you'd be well off.

Regarding your stock set-up, i wonder if you would consider buying new wheels & tires, then trying to sell your original wheels & tires on Craigslist. I'm expecting to see a lot of stock wheel & tire ads on craigslist from these cars.
