New Tires - Suggestions

Hi! I'm in need of some new tires this summer and don't want the stock tires again, I was looking at Michelin PSS but I would like some other suggestions as well. Thanks in advance.

PSS for the warmer months and Conti DWS for the cold and light snow.

There is also the BFG G-Force Rival, Hankook R-S3, and Toyo R888 for kick ass summer tires. The Michelins would last the longest though.

Toyo R888 are great road course tires but they have bad street manners. They are noisy and pick up every pebble. PSS much better for street driving.

Do your PSS make noise when you lose traction or you're about to?
