Default 22" tire owners and road noise, Best brand?

Whats up guys I thought id ask this since its time for new tires, What is everyones experience with 22" tires and road noise. I have the Falken 452 and not really happy with them. I dont need a performance tire or snow traction. I was looking at the Nitto INVOs they have a nice tread design and they say low noise but there tread wear rating blows. Going with a 255/35 upfront and a 295/30 in the rears for some cushion. Anybody know of a brand of tire made for a big sedan with soft side walls and smooth tread design for low noise. Thanks in advance

EDIT: Looks like im having a hard time just to find tires that match front and rear. My old size was smaller

The tire sizes are not correct. I would recommend a Continental DWS 245/20/22 and a 295/25/22. You may be able to go to 255/30 in front and a 305/25/22 in the rear but 255/35 is just way to fat. Its going to look like a truck.......or...............dare I say.........a Chrysler 300. lol

I have Invos as well and the ride quality is good and noise is a little more than the wheels I have on the stock rims which were michelins.

Not to thread jack but has are 295/30/22 about the same as a 305/25/22?

So far I really like the continentals on my car 245/30/22 F 295/25/22 R I had a bad experience with invos... They wear fast and they make some tire noise after awhile. Also, I have heard that some members have had some bad problems with them too.
