I've had the staggered Pilot Sports on mine from day one. I've been driving on many different road surfaces with very little if any tire noise.

Tire Noise

I have Michelin Pilot Sports with over 17,000 miles on them. Looks like they can last over 30,000. Most of the time my tires are very quiet, except over rough grade of concrete.
All my friends hate Continental and two of them that owns e-classes took MBUSA to court to replace their tires and won. The Continental threads were separating inside of the tire. |
