Default Crossing over to Car tires for SUV?

I have RX300 and after wearing down the much maligned Integrity (to be fair they were decent tires for the price), I went with Michillan M+S. They proved to be better tires but a bit noisy for me. They have worn down too, and as I am looking for another set ... I ran across Goodyear Assurance Comfotread 225/70R16. They dont show up under SUV/truck but the specs look very attrractive. Also in 120K miles, asphalt is the only thing the wheels have touched and snow driving is practically none. {Here is Austin if it snows, there is no place to go to}.

What is the expert advice?

stick with truck tires, IMO, those goodyears, along with the stock Integrity's have way too soft of sidewalls... ultra quiet truck tires - Dueler Alenza's from Bridgestone or Michelin Cross Terrains...
