I don't track or race the car at all, it's just my daily driver a couple miles to work and going out every now and then. I put about 5k miles a year on it. I'm looking for something with great grip and if they're quiet that would be a huge bonus. I've read a lot of people say that the V12's are really quiet. Around $800-900 for a set of 4 would be ideal but up to $1000 would be alright.

Edit: I'm in California if that matters in regards to the tire, I know there's summer, winter, and all-season types.
The v12s are great in traction for half its life (5000 miles), then it's like hockey pucks. Any hard acceleration will result in a burnout.
I would go with so4 with your budget. If you have deeper pockets, go with PSS or a/s 3 Michelin
