Which Tires? BFG G-Force KDW, Yoko H4S, or Toyo PRX4

Im wanting more summer tires then all season, but if the handling performance is up to par- I can live with all seasons. Anyway Im looking at the BF Goodrich KDW, Yokohama H4S, and the Toyo PRX4 tires. All are around the same pricing. Im putting them on a 1989 Mazda 323 with 16"x7" wheels running 205/40/16. Anyway Im concerned about wet performance and cornering more then anything else. The BFG tires have sidewall reinforcing which I do like. Not sure if the others have something similar. If you had to pick of these three of the best overall performer- which one would you go with?

I was thinking of Kumho KU31, Federal 595, and Nexen N3000 tires- but pricing isn't far from the above tires and they are average performers at best.
 
I share your tire demands. Ultra High Performance Summer, wet handling and cornering. Of those three I would choose the BFGs. I think those Yokos are all-seasons and I hate toyos based on the one set I had long ago.

If money isn't the factor and they have that size I'd go with Goodyear Eagle F1 GS D3s over any that you listed based on running them now. I'm replacing them with Hankook Ventus evo 12s on Monday.
 
How 'bout the new Kumho Ecsta XS? Pretty sweet tire but tread life and cost aren't very economical.
