Depends where you shop, but there are some pretty cheap 18's out there. DWS's are probably the best all season for actual winter conditions while maintaining some decent dry grip.
I ran 245/45/18's on a G35x and they just seemed to have way to soft of sidewalls for any aggressive driving.
The Continentals are quieter and will last longer than the Michelin. The Michelin will be the much better performer in all areas except noise and ride.
I choose the Michelin for noise, and I took a quick poll of some of the other guys here. We're unanimous in that decision. It's a tight race between the two, but the Michelin edges out the Continental.
Michelin PS2 or PSS for long term quietness. I've always found that the Continental (I've had the CS, CS2, CS3, and also DWS and DW on previous cars) to increase in noise levels more so than PS2's or PSS, which are more consistent throughout the tire life.
I agree with someone stating the DWS's are squirmy, they are...the sidewall isn't stiff enough to be a true performance tire, however they do good as an all-season performance tire.
Are any of these substantially quieter than the stock turanza's?
rolling on Flintstones' rock wheels would be quieter than the stock bridgestones.
i second the RE760's nice and quiet, really grippy, and good in the wet.
