Default Tire help, please

My tires are pretty much shot on my Z. I've got Nitto 555's on there now, and I am wanting something different, as I have not been impressed with those.

My first choice is Yokohama S.Drive, but the rear tires are backordered 3-4 months in my size.

I need 245/35-20 in the front, 275/35-20 in the rear.

Based mostly on price, I can afford two other types, either Kumho Ecsta SPT's or Sumitomo HTR Z III.

I don't go to the track, I don't really race aside from light-to-light stuff, I do drive a little hard but not burning rubber everywhere.

The tires seem to pretty evenly rated on Tire Rack.

Does anyone here have an opinion, one way or another?

How soon are you looking to get a set? I'm in Corpus Christi and I have a set of Dunlop Sport Maxx 20's if you are interested...they are brand new.

I've seen that, thanks.

I was just curious about anyone with first-hand knowledge or experience.

I've been running the Sumitomo's 285/30/20s for the last 6 months and have been happy with them. I'm at 510whp and the traction has been pretty good considering.
