Default A5 tires

Just purchased a 2009 A5 with the 18 in wheels/tires wanting to put my own 19 in rims on it.
Any suggestions for tires? I am conerned about noise.

Default Depends what you're looking to do with the car, where you live.... etc

If you give more details I'm sure you can narrow your search considerably. try looking on tirerack.com and you can even put in your car make/model and it will allow you to search by certain sizes and give you many different tire choices with a rating systems that are easy to follow and customer reviews about each.

Also, keep in mind you don't have to stay with the exact sizes they give you as they are merely recommended sizes. I would keep it close to those sizes though.

Thanks. These would be strictly for summer driving and I live in New England. High performance tire or higher. I tend to be a bit hard on tires.
I have looked at Tire Rack and the brands/sizes available. I was looking at the Dunlop Sport Maxx GT or the ContiSport Contact 3.
I have a set of Dunlop's on my A4 and the noise is unbearable. I did not want to make the same mistake twice.
