Help me choose new tires

Been getting the Nankang NS-II tires for the last 7 years. They are good tires at a good price. I need new tires so rather than going with the same tires I was looking at the other tires. Yokohama in particular. I know they are better. What you think about these ----> http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2-NEW...Q5fAccessories

These are the Nankang I get all the time. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2-NEW...s#ht_520wt_938

The Yokohama's are about $160 more. Are these tires a good buy? I don't know too much about tires. I know falkens are another but they too expensive. What are some other low profile tires? Need some feedback

kumho's are great also sumotomo's ..I've had both and they lasted a long time..no bs.. i didn't start hearing about nexen's until i started looking at wheels and those are usually the tires they give you with the package deal when buying rims so i don't know how good they are but alot of people say they are good ..i say it depends on you're driving habits ..me tires last me a long time because i rarely rarely drive my car..literally maybe at most twice a week to run errands but when i did have both the sumotomo's and kumho's i actually used to beat my cars and never had any issue's ..i currently run toyo extensa hp's so far so good and those are wrapped around a 20 inch wheel with me living in NYC as careful as i try to be i have hit a couple potholes and bumps ..just an example with the kumho's my wife's car i put those on and she broke yes broke 3 set's of chrome wheels with those tires on and never so much as a bubble or rip or nothing happened to the tires...happy shopping ..
