Default Starter tires for street play and everyday driving.

Bought a 97 Eclipse 2.0 Non Turbo Front WD I needed a car and found this one dirt cheap. Looks like something out of the fast and the furious but neglected for years. I am fixing little things at a time. So far I have done the engine (entirely), front brakes, rotors, Brake master cylinder, some front suspension parts that it needed badly and both rear wheel hub assembly.
It has four (215/45/17) different brand tires, so... I want to buy some Affordable tires and I have found a few that look good and should do well for the average driver.
I never go past 80mph and at most squeal my tires in first and second but no more than twice a day and only for a second or two.
I don't really like noisy tires but the muffler is so loud that I'm not sure it one could hear the tires over the pipe. I put about 1k miles a month on this car and I use it as a day to day car with a little fun.
I am considering four new tires of the following brand and model:
Price is for a set of four.

Triangle TR968 $279.00
Nankang NS-1 $308.00
Falken ZIEX ZE 502 $379.80
Nexen N3000 ZR17 $365.96
Falken FK-451 $390.00

Please, only compare these tires to each other I know there are others and it may be better to spend a little more and get better but just stick to what we have and if you like one or not then please explain why... Thanks.
