And already there is a problem - you mention 3 attributes (quietness, longevity and price), which I personally place lower down on my priority list. Mine are (in order of importance): 1. Wet grip. 2. Dry grip. 3. Stopping distance. 4. Noise. 5. Aesthetics. 6. Longevity. 7. Price. My recommendation - Bridgestone S-02s. -- Doug Ramage [Note anti-spam in e-mail address]
