Default Quiet Tires??? I'm thinking Toyo T1S or Falken Azenis ST-115 in 235/35-19.

I'm not after the "ultimate" grip/traction, but I do want good grip/traction in dry/wet conditions like I have now. I also want it to be quiet as possible and not cost over $200 each. I have NT555 right now and like them a lot. Nothing really negative to say about them (except they like to grab the freeway grooves and do make a little noise). But I just like trying different tires.

The new Toyo Proxes 4 looks nice too.

Falken 451s are supposed to be pretty quiet, as well as last w/o sacrificing grip.

Default Toyo is definitedly not what you're looking for

in fact, its used majority as for someone looking for the ultimate grip and response. I currently have Nero M&S and it is defitenly the quietest tires I've owned. However, they tramlining when psi is too high; but they also have 400 treadwear rating.

Default I have the ST-115s now...

They are very quiet. I am pleased with them, especially after the stock RE040s and a set of RE730s.

Another vote for the Dunlop, but I'll try the Falkens next. Much cheaper.

Default I'm actually hearing more to just keep with my Nitto NT555's....

Longer tread life, better dry/wet handling, albeit, slightly noisier. For the savings ($30-$40 per tire), it is hard to justify, since it is only for street driving. Although I do like to try different tires for my own expereince.
