... and Scott sez:

I had D60A2 JLB's on my wife's '92 Acura Legend.  They were quiet at
first, but by the time they had 20K miles on them, they had developed a
rather annoying tread noise.

Paul, if you can get the Yoko AVS's within your $400 budget, do it. 
They're excellent on dry, pretty good on wet, and you'll have a lot of fun
on them.  I'd recommend Dunlop SP8000's, but I don't think they make
them in your size and/or price.

Good luck,
