Default Deciding between tires

I really dont have the fund to shell out $900 for a set of tires right now im working with a budget. Im looking for a set under $400 shipped. I have currently found 2 sets that im looking at within my boundaries. I am looking for the size 235/50/17 which is suprisingly more expensive then the lower profile 235/45/17 tire. The 235/55/17 is even cheaper than the 235/45/17 but i fear that the speedo and other calculations will be too far off with that size. The 2 sets are listed below, help me decide, if you have a suggestion other than those two that would be under $400 per set, let me know as well.

The 235/50/17 tires are...

Falken Ziex 512 A/S
http://edgeracing.com/tire/2173/
W rated, 30k mi warranty, all season, $95 shipped

Continental ContiTouringContact A/S
http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....e1=yes&place=0
S rated, 80k mi warranty, all season, $78 Shipped

Ive read all the reviews on both but they all contradict each other so im looking for input from those that have used these or know much about them.

Like I said, if you know of another tire under $100 Shipped each, let me know about it as well....
