I have the A520s, and I love 'em

Sure they are noisy, but only at low speeds. At highway speed (70+) they are silent. They stick like glue, and have a SUPER stiff side wall. They corner beautifully, especially when matched with a nice set of drilled rotors.
I read those same comments on Tire Rack's site, and they all say the same thing: awesome handling, good in the rain, a little noisy sometimes. I am still breaking mine in. They only have less than 500 miles on them right now. I have been buying Yokohamas for the last 5 years. They have never let me down as far as quality and value for my buck.
I have 205/50/16s on Super Aero rims.
If you want quiet tires, don't buy Ultra High Performance tires, plain and simple. The Potenzas are not rated the same, and are more for all season performance I believe. If you want quiet high performance tires, shell out the $ for Pilots. Those are some serious tires.
