Question Priorities: noise, life, dry, wet

My Toyo T1Rs are almost gone. They lasted for about 13K miles. The rears are more worn than the fronts. Overall, it was an ok tire but once they are worn a little bit, the noise becomes irritating. Soft sidewalls are not my favorite feature either.

I'm looking for a replacement set to put on my stock 19-inch wheels. My priorities are listed in the subject: low noise, decent thread life, good dry traction, and acceptable wet traction.

I'm considering Michelin PS2 and Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta. Should be looking at something else considering my priorities?

I understand that good traction and good thread life almost never come together.

Any hints will be appreciated.

I see that many g35driver members run these tires, which is a plus

How are they on the noise? Can anyone compare to Toyo T1Rs?

Here is some info on tire noise:
https://g35driver.com/forums/wheels-...05-review.html

"On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the loudest I would set them around a 5. To compare I would set a Falken FK452 at a 3, A Kumho SPT at a 4, a Toyo T1R at a 3.5 and a Nitto Invo at a 2.5"

I think you have picked to two best tires available. I've always been a Michelin fan, but the Vredestein's are very intriguing.

Thanks all for suggestions! I placed an order for a set of Vredesteins in stock sizes. In the meantime, I'm going to have some fun with the going away Toyos. This part is the best part of the tire replacement process
