500 mile update (yes it took me 2 months to drive 500 miles). Still very impressed and pleased with these tires. They handle pretty good and traction is great on the street. I don't drive it in the rain so I don't know how they would work for wet situations.
These tires get my recommendation

they seem like a good tire for the 10.5" width. Do you think they'd be too small for an 11" ttII?

Take a look at the close up pictures at the tire rack. Good Year GS-D3, Yokohama AVS Sport, BFG KD, they all have them, just to name a few.
wide ovals have a huge lip.. but i think they run small and dont like the look of them.. although the rubber seems pretty soft

Really cheap? As in how much per tire? Break it down for us.

fronts = size = price = ?
rears = size = price = ?
