Which Sumis? II or III? IIs and v12s are directional so you can't swap sides. III, XS and 615K are asym so you can.
Really depends on what you want to use them for. Sumis and Hankooks are going to be better street tires than the Kumho or Falken which are more autocrossish and will likely wear faster.

I believe it is the II's. Yes the latter two do have a lower tread wear. The biggest wear on this car occurs on the rear tires. Going asymetrical might help a bit being able to swap the worn edge to the outside. Directional staggered arrangement basically limits the wear on the rear to never moving the tire. So maybe I could actually get more miles out of an asymetrical design with a lower tread wear rating? Who knows - one way to find out I guess.
