I currently run Dunlop SP Sport Maxx. No, they aren't the top tire when it comes to response or ultimate grip, but they are a great compromise. They are quiet (at least when compared to the Pilot Sports that came off), comfortable, and still are sticky enough to let you have some fun.

My only issue with them is that they develop flat spots if they sit for a few days. It goes away in 10 or so miles on the highway, but still a bit annoying.

If you want something a bit more focused and grippy, I have Kumho SPTs on my other car, and they are decently quiet. Then again, they're on a Lexus, so it's hard to compare.
