While enoying the winter and anticipating the soon-to-come-to-Philadelphia snowfall, I am researching summer tires.  I am currently running 235/45/17 Michelin Pilot Sports, that have about 65K and four seasons on them.  While there is some tread left, they have as expected become very loud. 

In looking for a replacement, one of my criteria (no flames please - since I am married with two small children), is road noise.  Rumor has it that this need takes just about any ultra high performance summer tire out of the running.  Does anyone have experience with the new Pilot Sport PS2?  What about the Nitto N-555.  Is high performance all season a better alternative (no, I don't track the car)?

Thanks
Stefan

Ps.  If anyone needs to replace the 16 cm rubber turbo water line located under the intake manifold, removal of the manifold is not required - small fingers and a minor donation of blood will suffice. ;-) - Thanks for your help Igor.
