Tamron lenses! Which one?

I have a Nikon D3100 and it came with standard 18-55mm lenses. Now I want to buy a lense for zooming. I found some affordable TAMRON lenses and wanted to ask can I use these Tamron lenses with my camera? And which one do you suggest?

TAMRON lenses:

1) AF 28-200mm F/3.8-5.6 XR Di Aspherical [IF] Macro (Model A031)
2) AF 18-200mm F/3.5-6.3 XR Di II LD Aspherical [IF] MACRO (Model A14N II)
3) AF 70-300mm F/4-5.6 Di LD Macro 1:2 (Model A17)

You mean you don't zoom with the 18-55mm kit zoom lens which covers all the most common shooting scenarios out there?

If you want to throw away your optically superior 18-55mm kit lens in place of a single do-it-all lens, then get the very versatile but optically inferior 18-200mm. If you want to keep your kit lens and don't mind changing lenses as needed, get the 70-300mm. You will also have the advantage of pulling far objects closer to you. The 28-200mm is practically a just cheaper version of the 18-200mm with a lesser wide end.

I own one Tamron lens, the 18-200 and it's trouble. Focus and aberration issues so I don't buy their products any longer. Stick with Nikor lenses - the best for your camera.

Go with Sigma 70-300mm F4-5.6 DG Macro. I have never been a fan of Tamron, the image quality seems to be less than ideal most of the time.

Go to the tamron site, look these up. See if it says on the specs "Nikon with built-in motor" if it does it autofocusses on your d3100.

The first two are not going to improve over your 18-55. The 3rd is a decent budget telezoom, doesn't come close in quality to the nikon 70-300 VR or the new tamron VC. Even sigma's 70-300 APO will beat it.

If you go with the 70-300 be sure to get the SP 70-300 f4/5.6 LD Di USD. It has very high rating from most reviewers.
