Almost did Hankook Ventus HRII H405 but did Toyo...

I almost purchased the Hankooks after much research, but decided on Toyo Proxes 4 tires (225/45R17) for my 2000 Viggen Vert.
From what I researched, the Hankooks have an H speed rating and 90 load rating, which aren't bad specs. On the other hand, the Toyos have a W speed rating and 94 load rating.
Since I was going with 17-in wheels (Fondmetal "turbines" :-)), I wanted to have at least a 91 load rating for better protection of my rims. I figured that a 94 rating would be just right.
The Toyos are great tires. I've put about 1000miles on them and noticed they are quieter and much more grippy than the Michelin Pilot Sports (front) and Pirelli P6000s (rear) than I had before. They also absorb more road defects than I would've thought for 94 rated tires.
I purchased them from tiredealsforless.com (great prices and quick delivery) and researched them on 1010tires.com.
Please post whatever you decide to do.
