Looks like most reviewers do not agree with which is quieter.

The P Zero A/S plus is newer than the Michelin. In 2013 when I bought my Michelins the equivalent Pirelli was not so good. I drive about 10,000 miles a year split equally between summer and winter tires. Let us say I do not try to save my tires, smoke em regularly because after 5 years from the DOT stamp they're no good for grip anyhow.
No question the Michelin is the better tire in cold weather and nearly as capable as the Pirelli when used as a summer tire. Snow grip is pretty impressive for the Michelin when you consider how grippy it is in hot weather. Notice the tiny biting teeth in the tread grooves? They really work on snow if it's not too cold.
Let me defend the factory choice of the Primacy. A very light tire with good grip wet or dry. The Primacy suits the power level admirably. Doing all this again I'd modify the shocks and springs before I laid out good money on replacing the fairly good Primacy.
