New Tire Help

I am beginning to looking into getting some new tires for my 2013 328i M-sport. I been reading a lot of threads here but it seems like everyone has to deal with snow. I live in California and I never get to see any snow. My priorities are noise>handling>treading. I have been looking at the Michelin A/S 3 or the Pole positions but I am open to suggestion as I have little to no knowledge of tires at all.

Garage List
UK market when advertising has the spec for road noise and efficiency / rolling resistance. Does the U.S. advertisement not do the same?

If it does it is not obvious enough for me to see it. Again I am not very knowledgeable on tires.

Hankook ventus V12s are great budget performance summer tires. They will perform well in rain as well.

If you can afford to go for Michelin Pilot Super Sports. Most people say they are the best handling tires you can get.

I am currently debating between the Michelin Pilot Super Sports and the Potenza S-04 Pole Positions. Anyone have any experiences with the Pole Positions?
