Some guy recommended Yokohama tires cause they are much quieter, but I can't find them in stock tire sizes for the NSX (on tirerack). Assistance requested! Thanks.
Most generalizations across an entire brand are just not true. The big factors in tire noise are the amount of tread depth (worn tires are notoriously noisy, new tires not so noisy) and type of tire (extreme performance tires are generally noisy). Specific models of tires can also be noisy; check the side-by-side tests on the Tire Rack website for comparisons.
The sizes you need for 16"/17" wheels on an NSX are 205/45-16 or 215/45-16 for the front, and 245/40-17 or 255/40-17 for the rear. The Yokohama Advan Neova AD08 was not available in a 16" front size for the NSX, and it's doubtful that the AD08R will be, either.
If you want the ultimate grip in a street tire, extreme performance tires that are available in NSX sizes include:
Bridgestone Potenza RE-11 205/45-16 and 245/40-17 or 255/40-17 (may be discontinued)
Toyo Proxes R1R 205/45-16 and 245/40-17 or 255/40-17
Kumho Ecsta XS 215/45-16 and 245/40-17 or 255/40-17
Falken Azenis RT-615K 215/45-16 and 245/40-17 or 255/40-17
The Bridgestone Potenza RE010, which was one of the original equipment tires designed for the NSX and offers precise handling feel, is still available in the stock '94-01 sizes, 215/45-16 and 245/40-17.
I am not aware of any maximum performance tires available in these sizes. If you're concerned about noise and/or treadlife, AFAIK you're going to have to accept the greatly-reduced performance of an ultra-high performance tire; the best of those is the Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sport, which is available in 205/45-16 and 245/40-17 or 255/40-17.
