I dont have a tire to recommend...but i can say stay away from the bfgoodrich g-force sport comp-2. The tire its self performs decently for the money, but is noisy as hell. I didnt pick them. The dealer installed them before I purchased the car. My snow tires are much quieter.

Cant wait for them to wear out so I can get a better tire.

Continental DSW. Pirelli Cinturato P7. Michelin A/S 3. Those are all quality all season rubber. Get the P7 eco version for improved mpg. If it doesn't snow where you are, then check out some summer rubber like Michelin Pilot Sport 3, Pilot Super Sport, Pirelli Corsa.

Hankook Ventus V12 Evo were the quietest tires I have ever owned. Price is good as well. Treadlife however is not the greatest.

I have a hankook V12 on the rear now as a loaner due to a flat on my PSS and michelin having the pss on back order and I can hear that one tire howling, not very quiet compared to the PSS.

Check out the Tire Rack surveys. Road noise is one of the items surveyed.

5th vote for DWS for smooth daily driving with good MPG, quietness, comfort and long tread life (50,000 or so miles)

If you track, autocross often, then go with dedicated summers tires like Hankook v12 or Michelin Pilot Super Sport. However, these are stiffer, less comfortable and less quiet than the extreme performance all season tires above.
