And another option.
Ive racked up about 10-12thou to date on some Sumitomo ZIII's. Very good, (predictable) wet and dry grip, nice life so far, and no noisier than the next tyre. Not as 'aggro looking' tread cut as some, however, function over form.
They perform. Definately worth a look:

Was dubious at first, however the competitive price I got them for in a 225/40/18 made it attractive.
Ill go back to them. I have run most of the Toyo stable, (T1-S, now T1-R i think, Proxes and TPG). As well as Hankook K....... 104's???? From memory, and id go back to these Sumi's.
My 2c.
