I found the stock Michelins to be very loud on concrete highway and pretty quiet on asphalt/blacktop. The Potenzas are much quieter on concrete and started quieter on blacktop. I notice them a bit more now after 13k, but they are still better than the Michelins.
I was pretty close to getting the SZ50s, but when I priced them in sizes compatible with the 9-5, they were $150+ per tire. The Potenzas were somewhere $120-130 each. I've been very pleased. I am curious to see how they wear long-term. If I can get 30k I'd be pretty happy considering they are more performance oriented. My Michelins had 39k when I made the switch, but probably could have gone a bit further.
