You all are comparing different type/category of tires... How can you compare an ultra performance all season to an ultra performance summer to a touring all season tire? It's almost like comparing apples and oranges... I would say figure out what tire type you want and then research at tirerack or discount tire the tires in that category and select the best that you can afford that meets your requirements. I did alot of research for ultra high performance all seasons for my previous car (Acura TL) and the Continental DWS were the best for the money and highly rated by consumers. Unless I find a better tire for the money I will be going with these when I replace my current wheels with 19s.

These BFG's do everything I need for the price I want.
What category of tires are you looking for? You seem to compare A/S to HPS to Touring?

And I'm not sure about the type of tires I want yet. Thats why I'm gathering opinions on both All Season and Summer tires.

My car came equipped with the dunlops maxx and I would not recommend dunlops to any one who cares about noise as they are very noisy . The good thing about them is that they are soft which is good for speed bumps , does not wear quickly and their performance is good or over the average but not as good as the PSS . These tyres are noisy from the begining , but now after putting 10k of miles on them I started to hear a noise like wo wo wo on a certain speeds , and this result is similar to the one obtained from my old car equipped with dunlop .

The only caveat about the Michelins is price: I paid $305/tire from TireRack for 255-40-19's. Worth it to me though, since they transformed the handling on my Mustang. MPSS will be the replacement tire on my FSport.

In the EU it is now mandatory to mark all tyres with noice level.
How truthful the tests that the companies preform are, can probably be discussed.
I'll probably try either michelins, goodyear or vredestein tyres.
Vredestein are the tyres avalible in 255-35-18 that have the lowest EU noice specs.
Goodyear are not that expensive and have the correct dimension. Heard some good things about the tyres to. They are supposed to very quiet.
Michelin I've used before with good results. Problem is that I want the correct 255\35-18 tires. And michelin only makes the Pilot sport 3 in that dimension. And the ps3 tyre is a bit noicy.

The sport maxx is an entire family of tires, each with its own capabilities.
Shure, Dunlop isn't known for quiet tires, but it seems they got a hang of it with the RT. The RT is 3dB quieter than the TT. The 050 is not tested.
On the left, the 050, middle, the TT, and on the right, the RT.

Anyway I'm not sure if I want to buy another dumlop after my bad experience with them , so if you are going for the RT give me your feedback after testing them as I will get them too if they are good .

Shure will.
