The Dunlop is also significantly less expensive going for $185 each in the 245/40-17 size.

Dan,
I thought I'd read somewhere recently that Hankook was bumping up the UTQG on their R-S3 tire from 140 to 200. One of my earlier posts in this thread called out the tire wear requirements for each series. The driving requirement is that the UTQG has to be 200 or higher. I've got to check if tires are included under the "safety" heading, as you will easily hit the $500 limit on tires alone.
