Hope they will be fine for the price (half of PS2)

My 528xi came on the 18" ContiSportContact RFT, and being a tire noise whacko, I've been thinking on replacing them with the Dunlop model you had (either RFT or non-RFT, still debating about all pros and cons). The reason being that my current Contis are extremely noisy ( 75 dB on the label), while the Dunlops seem to be the quietest tires out there ( 65 - 68 dB only).
My question to is this: before you replaced your Dunlops, did you notice how noisy the really are? TIA,
Piotr

Don't trust the label but have a chance to test tires personally if you can.
My experience:
18" non staggered Dunlop OEM Sportmaxx RFT: good summer tire, normal noise but floating feeling. Tread fast consumption
18" non staggered Nokian W3A3 non RFT: excellent winter tire (tested on icy conditions and snow), very good comfort (not noisy), good tread consumption
19" staggered Kumho Ecsta LE Sport non RFT: excellent summer tire for the price, not noisy and very good wet traction. Only 1000 km for testing tread consumption
Cheers
