I used the BFGoodRich g-Force KDW 2's for 2 years and loved them! They gripped the road well and ran well in the rain. If you are looking for a set for the race track, I'd look for something else.
Hope that helps.
Motor On!

I have a set of Neo Gens although in a 205/50/16. I live in So Cal and drive in much the same conditions. I really love these tires. Bought them for my second set of wheels for canyon carving and long trips. They are quite, they don't follow the grooves on our freeways like my Pirelli's do and they stick like glue in the twisty's. There are three other people in my Mini group that use them as well in different sizes (18,17 and 16's) and love them as much as I do. I plan on buying another set when the Pirelli's wear out on my 18's.

I'm looking at replacing my Falken Ziex 512s (discontinued) with the Neo Gens.

Because I'm doing 30,000+ miles of driving a year with occasional autocrosses--ultra high performing but inexpensive tires are important for me since I plan to change them atleast twice a year.
