Default Quietest Tires for Volvo 2001 V70XC

Hey there,
Did a search but didn't come back with much. Am wondering what the quietest tire would be to put on a V70XC. In Memphis, we don't have much snow, but we do have quite a bt of rain. I'm looking for quietness more than anything, but obviously, good handling is required. Anyone have a recommendation?

EDIT: Oh, and it's 215/65/16


Thanks,
Mahlon

I love the Goodyear Tripletred Tire. Awesome in the rain and snow. Tom

You can get a whole bunch of user reviews on the websites of Tire Rack and Discount Tire/America's Tire. And they tell you the type of vehicle they're on, # of miles driven, and where the reviewer lives. You don't care how a tire performs on a 3 series BMW in SO. Cal., for instance. Spend some time there.

We have Goodyear Viva 2's on ours, and so far they are very quiet and handle nicely
