Default Tyre questions - Please help

I have to replace the tyres on my 1980 Porsche 911 SC.
The current tyres are Pirelli P7. Michelins where not available at the time. Now I have to replace the rear tyres again, and once more the Michelins are out of stock.
The dealer also stocks a tyre called "Kumho". Has anyone heard of this? Not only are they cheaper, but a little internet research seems to indicate that they are better than Michelin, Pirelli and Bridgestone!
The P7's where okay for highway travel and wore down fine, but I felt a lack in performance.

I am looking for performance, travelling regularly at or over 160kph.
Cornering is very important.

My size is: 255/65/15.
Choices:
Kumho kh11
Michelin Pilot Primacy
Pirelli p6000
Bridgestone Turanza E30

This site: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/survey...ay.jsp?type=GT
has some interesting comparisons.

Any help?
