Thought I'd bump this as I'm in the market for 4 new tyres. 255 35 20

Any thoughts on Dunlop SP Sport Maxx? Falkens? The Michelin SP2s are a little pricey I think.

I have Nankang Ultra Sport NS2s on at the minute and they are, without doubt, the noisiest tyres I have ever had fitted to a car. At 60mph on certain road surfaces, it sounds like a bearing has gone. The guy above who said thay were quiet must be deaf! And I know it's not the car 'cos I swapped the wheels when I had them refurbished and the second set were ultra quiet. But I can't remember what tyres were on them. P zeros I think.
