Default Need Advice on Allseason tires

Guys, planning to replace the stock RS-A Eagles (205/55R16) on my car. Want All season. Looking at Dunlop SP5000, Pirelli P7000 and Michelin PilotSport A/S. How bad is the noise issue on the Pirrelli's? Is Dunlop5000 SP my best bet for all season high performance (higher than H rating)? Please advice. Thanx.

Default P7000SS get really loud!

Dunlop SP5000's are great. Stay away from the Pirelli P7000SS. I replaced a set with so much tread left because the noise was giving me headaches.

Default The Pilot Sport A/S has new technology that the others can't touch-->

3 different rubber compounds (for wet, cold and dry) across the front of the tire. They are quiet and stick like glue in all conditions. I went through 2 sets of SP5000s (out of round) then swithed to the Pilot Sport A/S. Great tires.

Default PilotSport A/S are great...

just replaced my P7000s with Michelins and the difference is substantial. Plus the tires dont bubble every 5 minutes and drone like Pirellis
