I have Dunlop SP Sport Maxx tires and think they are pretty quiet. Michelin Pilot Super Sports, Michel Pilot Sport SP2's and the Hankook Ventus V12s are pretty quiet too from what I hear. I would recommend the Hankook Ventus V12 if your looking for a performance tire that isn't loud and isn't too expensive either. The Dunlops & Michelins will be $$$ lol

Not Dunlop Direzza Z1 Star-Specs, haha. I have them on there right now and they are loud. But they're not intended to be quiet, so I guess that's how she goes.

Looking at the possibility of getting Bridgestone Potenza S-04 Pole Positions or Michelin Pilot Super Sports.

Dunlop sportmaxx or gt are quiet, but will make more noise as they wear down, but not as muchas other brands.

Michelin pilot sport3 and supersport are quiet from the begin till they wear down.

All season touring tires are usually quiet, I'm doing research on some now to put some quiet tires on my TL.

Hankook V12's if you're on a budget. If money is no object then michelin or continental tires.

I agree... And you can't beat the tread wear for the money!

From experience my Continental DWS are far more quiet than the Bridgestone Potenza.
