This is getting ridiculous. Another good deal came up. Here's my choices now...

Kumho SPT 225/45/17 $304 picked up
Kumho Spt 235/40/17 $320 picked up
Dunlop DZ101 225/45/17 $380 shipped
Toyo T1S 215/45/17 $398 shipped

Toyo pros - Very lightweight, 3-5 lbs lighter than the other choices, very well regarded street tire for budget price.

Toyo cons - 215 width only, on a 7.5" rim. Might be a bit stretched, although that size is listed for a 7.0-8.0" wide rim. More $$, but if it's a better tire it's worth it for me.

So what do I do? There's only 8 of the Toyos left in stock, so I need to decide quickly.
