Had Pzero's on my 14' 991.1S, hated it after it started to age a little, gets really loud.
Moved to p4s.... never looked back, just picked up a set for my wife's cayman R and she likes them as well.

For a quieter ride, I have found that smaller wheels (19s) and comfort pressure settings make more of a difference than the brand of tire. Michelins however do seem marginally quieter than Pzeros. Still, the 911 is a noisy car and with the turbo engines, tire roar unfortunately is the dominant sound at highway speeds. Unpleasant.
Regarding foam-injected tires, C&D did a comparison a few years back. Maybe the technology has improved.
