Michelin PS2 in specific model number for the Porsche, Kumho and Sumitomho HTRZ III are the tires I hear a lot about. But depends on what besides quiet you need. Ever drive in below 40 road temperatures? Then all-seasons. Or if you are in South FL, then maybe just UHP summer is the type.

No such thing as a perfect tire.
More true words were never spoken (or typed) !
I tend to search down the review threads to find drivers who have had the tires for at least 10k miles and have had several sets on the same car to compare. These reviewers seem to be more honest with themselves.
I had four sets in 80k miles on my RX8 and the Goodyear F1- GSD3 was head and shoulders above the others - on THAT car.
I only have 2k miles on the Sumis on my Box and they're only my second set on this car, so toss some of those salt grains over the shoulder when I say I'm happy, so far.
