New Viggen Tires - S03s vs Toyo T1-S

I have a 2001 Viggen and the stock P6000's are just about cooked. Stand-still starts on rainy hills are an adventure at this point so I've started looking and these are the two tires I've settled on. I'll also be going from the stock 215/45-17 to 225/45-17 as others have said it provides about an inch more rubber to protect the rims.
Any experiences or opinions when comparing these two tires? Pricing is close enough to not have an impact on my decision. The shop that does a lot of work for the Porsche/SAAB/etc dealer here says he does a lot of work on the Porsches and gets complaints about the S03 being noisier than the T1-S, and has even had returns over that. I have no way to confirm this, and am attempting to be an informed consumer in case his profit margin is much higher on the Toyos. TireRack has tons of glowing user reviews for the S03s but since they don't sell Toyos I'm kind of in the dark there. I had some Toyos (don't remember the model) on my old '98 900SET that I really liked.
Thanks in advance,
John
