Just was pleasantly surprised that I have the Pirelli PZero's. Always thought those were the coolest tires for some reason.

Another side of me says that I drove for probably 15 years on all kinds of cheap, mismatched, repaired or reconditioned tyres without ever having an issue simply because my driving style never took me anywhere near their limit. Now it's suddenly important to have the tyres with the best aquaplaning or wet braking performance. We are falling victims to the marketing. Any tyre has to be an improvement on what I and others have survived on far less sophisticated cars than we drive today.
As I said, until I was told they were noisier than average, I never had an issue. If I were replacing, I'd opt for something quieter, along the lines of the P Zeros, and sacrifice a little performance in the knowledge they'll still do far more than I am likely to ask.
