I switched to the new Michelin Pilot Sport A/S. 40K tread wear rating and it is quieter. They don't pick up and throw rocks around the wheel wells.

Thanks IDZRVIT! I was also considering the PS2s but I might have to sell a kidney... I heard that the Continental Extreme Contract DWs were good all-around tires and also quieter - anyone use them?
