Default Bang for the Buck??? (tires)

I need a set of 2 275/35/18's and 2 285/35/18's. I'm interested in treadwear. These are the tires and prices given to me from tomzwheels. I just want to do the math on if an extra $200 on a better tire will get me more miles to be worth it. So if anyone that has ran these tires could please tell me how many miles they were able to get out of them, it would be appreciated.

Sumitomo HTRZ II - $660
Falken FK 452 - $770
BFG KDW II - $880

firestone firehawks are cheap...they look badass too.... if you have m6 id suggest some drag radials, if your a4 stock/some boltons these should hookup pretty good...but if you plan on getting a stall i do not recomend the firehawks

I have an A4 and am getting a stall and was wondering if Goodyear Eagle F1's would work well.
