Default OT: But need opinion on Tires....

I want a tire that is QUIET (highest priority, rides well and has good traction. I could careless about wet traction. I currently have Yokohama Paradas and they are the worst tires ever, they howl like mud terrains and should not even be legal to sell. They have no traction whatsoever and again they howl.

I've come to these choices: Toyo T1-S, Nitto 555, Pirelli P-Zeros. Money doesn't matter. Also if there are other tires that you recommend as the Best then please feel free to name then. Thanks guys!

I like Toyo T1S, but if cost is not an option, I'd also consider Bridgestone S03's...

Default PZero Rosso's are not bad

I had S-02 before these. The Rosso's are much quieter and rides nicer than the 02's.
Rosso's trammel a bit more than 02-s
The 02's seeem to have a bit more grip so far in the dry and 02's are better in the wet.
HAvent ridden on 03-s yet so I was giving comparison to the 02. I have heard that the 03's are not as quiet as Rosso's but the 03's are to provide better grip wet and dry.
You may wish to check out the Dunlop SP9000's also.
