[Biturbos4] Tire Recommendation? and possible tire for sale.

[Derek Cheuk]

Had Michelin Pilot Sports on my S4 from the factory.  Liked them quite a 
bit.  Switched to Pole Position S03's last year.  Horribly loud road noise.  
Had my 4 wheel alignment checked, still horribly loud.  Louder than my snow 
tires (blizzak LM-22s).  Going to try PS2's next time.
