My priorities:
1) Quiet
2) Ride quality
3) Predictable breakaway

RS-3's are not quiet lol

which leads to my next point/question for OP, you want a track tire where the first priority is quiet? That's going to be tough IMO. Best tire that comes to mind is Conti DW and I'd use that as a backup rain tire. Could definitely be used on dry but I don't see it lasting long if driven hard on track. I would just go with Star Specs, can handle almost anything you throw at it and wasn't as loud as my RS-3's.
