Question Time to get Tires, need Quieter ones

I have Yoko AVS 100 205/60/15's. I want a lower profile tire, but It maybe not help. I am looking this time around for a more comfortable ride, quieter, and less road noise, but looking for decent tread life. Anyone have recommendations? I look around, but nothing has seemed to get me any closer to finding some I like.

I've looked at Potenzas, Falken 512's , Hankook . <- moms got those on accord with stock suspension. They are great.

My Setup: stock shocks, lowered 2".

Thanks everyone, please do not ***** this thread or shut me out. I've searched, but nothing has helped me really all that much. It all starts sounding the same.

Ramones is an unknown quantity at this point
I have Falken's right now and there ok. My car is stock and the ride has gotten bumpier. Grip is ok. I'm probably going to buy something else next time.

Go to tirerack.com and read the reviews for the tires your looking into.

They've had issues with Falken and failures in the past. It was a while ago but it had something to do with serious quality issues, tires failing severely and Falken not doing much about it. Business issues.

Anyways.... most non directional treaded tires will run quieter than their directional counterparts.
