I just installed a set of Cooper RS3-A tires. They are UHP tires. The Michelins you mention are also UHP the Conti DWs are not. The UHP will have more road noise but vastly better handling. The Coopers that I installed handle better than any tire I have ever owned, but, they do produce a bit more road noise. Consumer reports rate the Coopers very highly and as a very low noise tire for their type. They are quieter than the RunFlats that cameon my car but still not as quiet as I would like. The handling does make me smile though. Entrance ramps that I used to take at 45-50 mph I can now take at 65-70 without any strain at all.
