I know what you mean about the Potenzas being noisey. I had them for about 2 months on my G35 wheels and chewed right threw them (in the front). I'm now running the Toyo T1R's and the are MUCH quieter than the Potenzas, plus they have a 280 treadwear where the Potenzas were a 150 I belive. I picked mine up for about $205 a pop. Hope this helps.
