Tires with the least noise?

whatever you get will definitely be quieter than the Pirelli P7000. I have a set of 19" staggered on my car right now, and they are so damn loud. I had nitto 555 and SP9000 before and they were pretty quiet.

I would have to say the Pirelli P-Zero Rosso would be the tire of choice and second would be the Pilot Sport PS2

Ok...thanks Luke. One more question though...since my wheels are staggered, what tire dimensions will I need? 235/35/19? 245/35/19? I want low profile tires with my wheels, so any advice is appreciated.

Ok...so I lied....one more question, Luke

What about 245/35/19-front and 275/30/19-rear? Will that be ok too?
Thanks
