Default Need a recommendation on a set of 225/45/17 tires

Looking for some recommendation on a set of those. I would like it to be all season and relatively quiet. But I don't want them to squeal everytime I turn the wheel..

Anyone has any recommendations??

Michelin Pilot Sport A/S--new design-performs great in snow, wet and dry.

Default a non-squealing all-season tire??? hmmm......

Falken Azenis ST115 is supposed to be very quiet. Don't know about squeling though.

I was also going to throw in Dunlop A2, but maybe they don't come in that particular size.

For the price of that Pilot A/S, you could get two separate sets of tires: for summer and for winter

Default Let me rephrase my question... Dunlop SP 9000 vs. Pilot Sport vs. S-03 PP???

Thanks!

Default Get the SP9000s. I have the Pilot Sports and wished I got the Dunlops...

... The Pilot Sports are great, but they are also noisy. I think the S03 would also be a good quiet tire.

Default I have the S-03's...

Like them a lot. Does not even peep around hard corners. Grip is great in the dry and wet.

I have no experience with the other two.

Get some Kumho Ecsta's! They can't be beat performance vs. price! Perfect for Quattro.
