Wolf, I love me a quiet, good riding(over impacts) tire.
Another tire that you may want to consider if quiet is a high priority is the Bridgestone Turanza Quiettrack. It is available in your size but, only in "V" speed rating and can be pricey(~$136/ea). The Quiettrack didn't show to be as good as others in the TireRack testing in the wet testing but, neither do Pirelli's(we have to wait for the P7 A/S+ II test). However the Quiettrack shows to have a very good ride & quiet ride with very competent handling.
I've had lot of Pirelli's that didn't do well in the wet(in side-by-side testing) but, it was never anything I could notice myself. AND I Love'em. And just because a tire doesn't show to be as good in wet testing with its "side-by-side competition", doesn't mean the tire sucks. It still does better than other tires that it WASN'T compared with.
I like the idea of the Bridgestone Turanza Quiettrack, Conti's Truecontact TOUR, Pirelli's P7 All-season PLUS II and would have no issues picking up any of them in my particular price range(keywords-price range). I mean, which tire could I get(at the time I am buying) for the best price/warranty etc., etc.
