Tires Help

Hey all,
I'm looking to replace my OE tires, I own an '04 E53, 4.8is. The rear tires are about to their limit and looking for something similar in performance, and maybe a little bit more quiet. Those Michelin Diamaris are pretty awesome to look at but slightly loud on the highway. I've done a few searches and heard a few people talking about the Vredestein Sessanta are a pretty nice set. I live in Northern CA and aside from the rare trips to Tahoe, I don't plan on doing much of snow driving.
In any case, what are you guys recommending out there? What's the most bang for your bucks? What are you impressing on Michelin Lattitude, Toyo proxes etc..
Any feedback would be gladly appreciated.

Toyo, Nitto, Falken and Michelin are your best bet!

In 20" Conti DWS seems well priced. I don't run any now as I am currently running Michelins on all three vehicles but used a couple of sets (both summer and winter tires) on an A6 Allroad while in Germany. Very nice ride, great traction.

I have ran both toyos and nitto on 18s and they are great. But one tire I that has been very recommend is Vredestien. I will try those next.
