What are quietest tires?

On my 968 I don't care about speed rated tires (I do that on my 928) however, I am looking for quieter tires so I can hear my exhaust w/o road noise interference. Anyone studied this up?

I could run studded winter tires on concrete and not hear them but I think that has something to do with my muffler.

I do have dunlops on my both cars and they are fairly quite. The dunlops have a large centre tread so they run smooth and quite.

Have wide Fuzzions. Drive with the widow down. Seems to be quite compared to other brands I've had.

When was the last time you changed your timing and balance belts and/or cam chain and tensioner?

Fuzions here as well. Not bad on the road noise. I don't think you hear them until around 100 or so.
