I LOVE my Yoko AVS DBs.!
Quiiiiiiiiet with excellent handling on my SL (205 65 VR15).
Life is a series of trade offs, and so are tire qualities.

Let us know your decision and how it works out for you.

Happy Hunting

FWIW, the 205-60/15 AVS db's on my wagon are much quieter and better handling than the MXV4 Plus's on my sedan.

would also endorse Yokohama AVS Db -- using on daughter's 420SEL -- 205/65/15 V-rated at $70 each. Exceptionally quiet in straight line, some noticeable noise in turns. Very good in wet weather and fine in dry.

I would suggest the Avid Touring from Yokohama from the survey restults.. but, don't know if they have your size?

I had great luck with Nokian NRV tires on my w124. They were smooth running, really quiet, very affordable, and v-speed rated.
Check out their website.
