I say nitto only because I used to have them on my se-r, never tried coopers before. The nittos seemed a little bit on the noisy side if you ask me.

Not too bad, pretty good in the rain, but then again, it doesn't rain much in southern cali.

as I mentioned in your other thread asking about the coopers, I have them on my E36 M3. They are very quiet, as described on their website, and performance seems excellent. I do not know If this would hold true for the 8, as the M3 has a staggered factory set up, but I would imagine that the tire performance is just as good. Good luck...
