Default Hancook S1 Noble 2 tires

Just in case anybody is considering these tires for their X350 - I put them on the front of my car to replace Continental tires after a great experience with Hancook tires on a Porsche Cayenne. Unfortunately, I found them very noisy and hard after the Contis and switched them to the back of the car where road noise and stiffness is much less pronounced. I will need to replace the Continentals at the front soon but before I do, can anyone recommend an 18" tire built for comfort and low road noise which might be better?

I think I will go back to the Contis. I think they were specified by Jag from new so should be "tuned" for the xJ8.

OEM is not a bad way to go at all, many people do, and are happy, best of luck to you.
