My old Michelin ZPs are quieter than the Goodyears. The noticeable
difference is in the increase in tire pressure as the tire gets hot.
The Michelins will go up about 4 lbs - Goodyears were about 3. ZPs
may be a softer tire but I am guessing. I put nitrogen in the
Michelins (had air as well - hard to evacuate them) and the pressure
change dropped to about 3.

I don't autocross any more so I can't speak to handling - just
cruising.
