Help me pick a set of tyres.

[anicorsa]

Im getting some new 17's for my car next week, and i need to pick some tyres.
They will be 205/40R17

The two im deciding between are:

Falken Ziex ZE-512
and
Toyo Trampio Gu:Wn

Anyone have any experience with these? Things im looking for are wet and dry grip and Tread wear, and to a lesser extent the noise. I'm leaning towards the Toyo's...

what's the prices for them?
I've seen quiet falkens before... but hey..... toyo are supposed to be good... if you want grip, you will get bad wear, they don't go together, good grip = softer tyres... poor grip = hard tyres (noisy too usually) and good wear...

Well i was offered both sets of tyres with the wheels i want to get for the same price. So im assuming they are in the same range.

Makes sense about the grip vs wear... i guess i'll have to find something in between.
