After a shit ton of research, I settled on these because as you said they are smooth and quiet. I went up to 235/40 from 225/35 so the sidewall is taller for an increase in comfort as well. They grip great in the dry and rediculously good in the wet, and have a good treadwear rating. Im on stock tune and dont plan on going higher than stage 1 if I ever do tune (used to have a stage 2 2015, got that out of my system) so these are most likely gonna be my tire of choice from here on.
They are a perfect summer tire for a stage 1/2 daily driver. If you track and/or make high HP, get the gold standard pilot sport 4s.
