Recommendations on tires

So I have some of the loudest tires in the world on my car right now. Goodyear Eagle F1 All Seasons.

I have a 2008 Sport with staggered setup. So I have so little choices really.

I think I'm going to go with this setup instead.
235-50/18 in the front and 255-45/18 in the rear

This will cause my speedo to be off just a little, but everything else should be just fine.

Now I need a tire that won't break my bank, yet still be good. Any reccomendations?

The Continental ExtremeContact DW is supposedly one of the quietest tires currently available, and rather plush for a summer tire because of the relatively softer sidewall.

Plus, you can rotate side-to-side without dismounting the tire from the wheel.

Check out the Hankook Ventus v12. I've had them for about 15K miles and like them a lot. I didn't notice any additional road noise, the ride is what I expected from low profile tires, and they have worn well. I'm running 225-45-18 all around.

I too have Hancook EVO's. Awesome tire. They ride great, quiet and sticky. Can't say enough good things abvout them. I run 255/40/19 all around.

I run Continental DWS's in winter - a good tire for all seasons, but too squirmy for performance driving IMO.

^ i've read that about the DWS. The DW are much better, granted it's summer vs. all-season.

I'm running Evo's right now, i like it, but these are certainly not comfortable tires by any stretch.
