Noise is not a real consideration with any of the tires you listed. Handling on the other hand is - D60A2 is H rated and the Mich & Dun are Z. Big Difference. The D60A2 would be pretty comparable to your OE MXV's but better in the wet. Both the HX & 9000's will considerably improve you handling with the Michelin's being a bit harsher than the Dunlop's. The 9000's will do everything well, it's a very good street high performance tire, The Michelin's may get the nod in extreem handling.
Depending on where you live / other characteristics you are looking for in a tire you may want to consider the Mich Pilot XGT Z4/V4/H4 series. Low noise levels and ride quality are incredible for as much performance as these tires can deliver. Just make sure you look at the new XGT series - "Pilot" not the previous models.
