Any recommendations on quiet tires?

[bryzf1]

I'm in the market for some new wheels and tires, but I've got some bfg g-force sports on there now and they are just too freakin loud. I took my spare tire out and stuffed it full of towels to cut down on the drone in the car. Does anyone have any input on what a good tire would be that is quiet?

I have been searching the web for the same thing and read several reviews that mentioned how quiet the Yokohama S4 is; no first hand experience though.

yokohama does have a tire that is marketed as being the quietest tire out there...
Yokohama AVS dB series, plus you can't go wrong with the Yoks

thanks for the input guys... i'm also looking at putting a 255/40/17, down from an 18... I'm pretty sure it will fit... anyone wanna chime in about whether or not they think i'll have any rubbing issues?

I just put on some Yokohama S-Drives and they are by far the quietest tires I have ever had. I had T1Rs and BFG KDWs on before these and they were both considerably louder. No tramlining either. I haven't taken them to the limit yet, but they do well in the rain.
