i'm also looking for well balanced tires.

there's no point buying cheap tires if they wear out fast. they end up being more expensive.

I want something that has ok noise level, and is relatively cheap and has good wear

HOWEVER, I kept the PSI at 39-40 to keep the tires inflated properly due to the "softness" of the continental rubbers which gave me excellent highway stability and handling. Don't inflate it to 33-35, its too low and soft and leads to poor handling and tramlining. Since the max inflation PSI for the contis where 50, it was fine keeping it at 40 psi. No ride harshness at all.
