I'm going to try the SP9000s next. Good wear, performance and traction at a decent price...
... I'm just a little concerned about steering response. They are also one of the quitest tires out there.

Yes...
they have a soft sidewall, such that if you are the kind that likes to seesaw on your wheel in hard driving, you won't like em. You have to adapt your driving skills a little for the tire, take your line a little early and hold it...the reward is some serious grip...also makes an excellent street tire since its quiet and comfortable.

ok.....well I can find you equivalent complaints about 14 other brands as well.......
it seems to me that the only sure-fire bets for a noise-proof high performance summer tire are very expensive......i.e. SO3 or SP9000

I bought Rondell R73s on the edge power buy...
for winter tires... and I am putting the P7000s on those and getting harder core summer tires for the evos.....
thats the plan stan....
the p7000s are nice, but surely a compromise....
