Default tire choices - need help

well, i don't know much about tires at all and I need your help in picking. I have a hook up that can get me the following tires for practically nothing:

205/40/17 Hankook Ventus Tires
205/40/17 Falken 451 ZR Tires
205/40/17 Hankook Ventus Tires
205/40/17 Toyo FZ4 Tires
205/40/17 Kuhmo Tires
205/40/17 Marshall Tires

Now he said this can only be a one time thing so I wanna get the most out of these tires. They're for my daily driver. No drag or auto-x at all. But I don't know jack about tires so I don't know which to choose. Any helpful info/insight is greatly appreciated. TIA

I would go for the Kumhos or the Toyos. Haven't heard much about the others.

well the sidewall isnt that stiff so when you turn it feel like it take a while for the tire to respond, but that really isnt that bad. The worse part about the kuhmo tire is that it is slippery when you push them hard. My vote still has not changed toyo all the way
