Default Help with tires!

Hello fellow Acura owners, I need some help on my 95 GSX-R (4 door 100% stock, 60,000 miles).
The OEM tires were somehow noisy (especially in the damned CA. freeways), so when time to change came I followed the recommendation at the 4 day tire store, they sold me tires they called “aggressive” yet quiet: “NITTO NT 505, EXIT GS”. They’re made in Japan, I love their performance, but their noise is deafening, can’t stand it anymore.
Need advice as to which would be the quietest tire (brand & model) for my GSX-R. Performance is taking 2nd place now.
Thank you guys.

Look at 'touring' or 'performance touring' type tires. They'll be quieter & smoother, prob'ly less all-out performance. Check out www.tirerack.com & look at the reviews.

What's an Integra GSX-R?

A nice quiet high performance tire is the Dunlop SP Sport 9000 in size 205/50-15. They run $119 a pop from tirerack.com.

Default "GSX-R"

Should've been GS-R I'm into bikes, and Suzuki has a model designated GSX-R.
