Tyres for daily driver?

Time to buy 4 new tyres for my subaru. It needs 215/45R17s.

Price so far:
Budget £55
Kumo £77
Avon £87
Toyo £94
Dunlop £97.64
Goodyear £107

Any reccomendations, Drawn to the Kumo based on price alone... Any thoughts?





Thanks
Adrian

had toyo t1-r's and falken ze512's on my 16" rim tintop and both seem to perform very well. also heard very good things from multiple sources about bridgestone potenza re720 which i might try out next time
