I went from Toyo Proxes to Hankooks, the difference is night and day. I had RE-11s on another car and I can attest they are also quiet. I am very impressed with the Hankooks though as they are not loud imho. I also went 285/35fr and 325/30rear on stock Nismo wheels so I don't know if that has anything to do with it. Either way good luck, with that budget you could possibly buy two sets.

The Bridgestone S04 are great tires for traction but road noise isn't that quiet. I'm definitely going to give the Continental DWS a try next time.

OP - nice budget, indeed. You've got your pick at that price point.

I've had my S-04s for about six weeks and love the performance (especially for the price), but I'll second what AdamRacer stated - they are not the quietest tire, despite some reviews that I've read.

I third this. The S04 are excellent performers and monstruos grip in wet and dry. The noise isn't that bad but a little louder than stock.

Advan's are noisy as all hell once they get some ware on them. S04's are are much better in every way.
