For a summer tire EVERYONE would have to agree that the Michelin PS2 is the best things going. A little pricey but well worth the money.

As far as an all-season tire, I've been researching Nitto NeoGen. From all indications this tire might be the quietest performance all season on the market.

With all of that said, your tire size is going to be a major contributor as to availability and the potential for a quiet tire. If you're running stock there are all kinds of options, if you're + or ++ sized it might be more difficult.

Default We just put a staggered set of Bridgestone

Potenza RE960 Pole Positon tires on my wife's '03 BMW 540iT with M5 wheels, and they are awesome! Much quieter, smoother, no tramlining like the Michelin Pilot Sport II's we took off and threw away.
Really love these tires. They are All Season too, which is needed up here in the Northwest in winter..

you can go with P0tenza RE960 Pole Position as stokdgs has suggested
they are pretty much the all time favourite ultra performance all season

i personally would stay away from Nitto

im going to try out Michelin Pilot Exalto A/S next week
ill let u know how it goes but ratings seems good for it

I also vote for the Bridgestone RE960's. Mine are great. Very quiet riding and smooth ride for a 30 series tire.
