Updates on Pzero neros?

I have pretty decided on these tires; however, I am worried they still have the traditional pirelli behavior (ie getting overly loud @ around 8k miles). Luke or anyone, do these new nero's still get obnoxiously loud as the older pirellis did? (rossos, P7000, P6000, etc.) Also, I am looking for the quietest softest ride, should i get the summer nero or the M+S nero?

depends on the weather
the Nero's do not get loud like the previous Pirellis you mentioned but there are 2 tires other than pirelli that I would recomend based on ride quality and performance

#1.) Firehawk SZ50 EP
#2.) Continental ContiSport Contact 2

Luke is right on, the Firehawk SZ50 EP are awesome tires. Good handling and I got 25K out of mine on a heavy Lincoln Mark VIII

luke, a lot of people said that the conti sport 2's get loud after a few thousand miles.... do you guys have the standard load rating tires available in my size? (215/45 R17) or should I just go to (225/45 R17) on my 17x7 rims.
