I'd like to replace my base stock tires with tires that will be as much quieter as possible. I'm not concerned about performance, etc. more so a quiet ride. Recommendations/

I had Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus on my '09 Z. They were quieter but you still had road noise in the cabin. The Michelin's didn't pick up rocks and gravel like the Yokohama's did so that was a plus.
