What suggesstions do you guys have on 20 inch tires? Help please. What has the best ride, least road noise, etc.?

I believe Pirellis are supposed to be the noisiest and the most expensive, then the Yokohama AVS Sport, and finally the new Bridgestone SO3 Pole Position. I had the AVS Sports on my LS400 and they were a real good tire. I decided to try the SO3's out on my GS and i love them. Not loud and very good handling. The guys at Tire Rack worship this tire.

jpmotdyn I disagree with you. Pirellis are kind of pricy but I don't find them to be the noisiest. I've got Pirellis on right now. I love the handling that I get from them.
And hubbard316 as far 20 inch tires go I have no idea. I have 18 inch wheels. But I don't think there should be that much of a difference between 18 and 20 as far as tires go.
What I get from reading different reviews is that the new Parada's by Yokohama should be excellent in handling and really cool in looks.

I don't think the Parada's come in 20"...

Nearly any tire in 20" is going to be a bit noisy..just turn up the stereo!

I don't have enough road time DIFERENT on 20" tires to give you a good opinion. I have Nitto's right now and they're fairly noisy (compared to stock) but they ride nice. I'm going to get S03's next...

The only reason i say that is because Pirellis run the highest treadwear rating and from all my years of selling aftermarket rims and tires I think they are not that good. Softer the tire the quieter, but the quicker they wear........rover[/B] try a new tire you might just like it better.

Well what I'm looking for is the quietest tire with the best handling and that will last the longest. Any ideas or suggestions would help. How are the Nitto 555's?
