Default Ideas on replacement tyres

My 15 plate XC90 Momentum 20" wheels, exdemo is not long off needing some new tyres with 18000miles on the clock.

I notice lots of articles on road noise which whilst not good on some roads is not really a problem to me to the level described in some other threads.

I normally go for Michellins < on my previous xc60s and wifes v70 > and have always been happy with wear. Any higher mileage drivers out there with any suggestions.... Replacing with conti's does not appear on many people lists.

before forking out on 4 new ones any other experiences would be appreciated.

Thanks.

My Michelin on 19s have done 16k miles (mainly motorway) and are at about 3-4mm, so they are wearing well. I am also happy with the road noise.
