Two "Which Ones Are Best" Questions

1.) Which ones are best as a replacement for stock tires: MXV4, Conti EcoContact (what is an EcoContact anyway)? I guess this question is what is the best Grand Touring All Season, however, I guess the exact class isn't that important.

2.) Is the Yokohama AVS db2 S the quietest tire of all types of tires?

Thanks,

David

I have run the MXV4's and if you don't mind crappy wet & dry traction, mediocre life, and paying too much money for what you are getting. Then it might not be a bad choice.

I am currently running Conti 2's. They have ok grip and are holding up fine. But I would not purchase another set.
