PS2's
Betsumi,
I hate to throw another tire into the mix but you may also want to look at the PS2's. I've run s03's and BFG KD's and these PS2's are pretty damn sweet! It was surprisingly quite on the freeways. Great dry grip like the s03. The wet is (although I haven't experienced it yet) supposed to be equal or better than the s03. For dry grip, the KD's beat both of these tires but it's no good for wet days.
When I had my s03's they lasted about 7 or 8 track days. This is pretty good for street tires. I used my brand new PS2's (200miles on them) on the track about a week ago and they were just AWASOME!
So, if you can find the PS2's at an equal or less price you may consider them. TireRack was running a special due to them ordering a huge quantity as they did with the s03's.
They were less expensive than the s03's when I got mine on TireRack a couple of weeks ago.
Lowball

The Goodyears are as good as the S03s both wet and dry on the street, but they overheat at the track and autocross course way too easily. S03s are still my favorite tire.
I am currently running a set of GSD3s on my car. They are absolutely great for the street, but I've taken them to two track days (once at Buttonwillow in March, and last week at Reno-Fernley) and both times they just rolled over and died under the stress. On the plus side, they should actually be a bit cheaper than S03s.
Basically, if you never track or autocross, get the Goodyears if you want to save a few bucks. If you do want to do competition type stuff, get the S03s.
