i wud say that the Goodyear Eagle F1 and Bridgestone GIII are both equally good in terms of hi-performance with the F1 having a slight edge initially though the F1 struggles after some wear and tear i.e. 10,000kms and the GIII are a clear winner here after............on the life front I've seen GIII doing a good 75k even

..........on the noise front any tyre with indeendent blocks on the tread tend to emitt noise after some uneven wear so be it Michelin's Pilot sport, Goodyear's Eagle NCT5,Ventura or Bridgestone's GIII though the touring tyres are safe that way be it Michelin's XM1 or Bridgestone's ER60.

......we all love to push the car a little too much if we've the Pilot sports or the GIIIs ....so here comes the uneven wear.

Its the air passing through the tread that makes noise if the blocks have uneven wear and the insulation of the car cabin & engine noise level does plays a major role in that.

I would suggest a GIII if you are looking for performance (Grip,traction etc) as well as a real good tyre life......but if noise can be a concern and performance expectations are not much ..go for the Michelin's XM1 or Bridgestone's ER60.
Apollo acelere still has a lot to prove............
