What are the current quietest 16" tyres in 2013 or 2014 with decent or average handling which will likely be quieter than the Goodyear Assurance Fuelmax or Michelin Primacy LC?

I was told the Yokohama dB are quiet tyres handling is not very good. Also, they wear out very fast and will start to be noisy sooner than you would expect. Is this true?

Any other alternatives to quiet tyres? Any advice would be appreciated.
