Default tire recommendation : switching from nitto 555

Car:
07 GS 350

Rims:
20" asantis

Current Tires:
245/35/ZR20 Nitto 555
275/30/ZR20 Nitto 555

I am looking to get some new tires soon and am I looking at getting something other than the nitto 555's this time around. I have no idea what other good low profile tire options are.

My preference in importance:
1. Durability
2. Ride smoothness
3. Cost

I went to tire rack and sorted the top 3 based on user reviews to:
1. Continental ExtremeContact DW
2. Michelin Pilot Sport PS2
3. Continental ExtremeContact DWS

any help would be appreciated

thx

If you aren't driving in any snow, I would take a hard look at the Hankook Ventus V12 EVO. If you are getting into some snow from time to time, the Continental DWS would be a great choice.

The Yokohama S.drive is a good low cost tire that lasts, is quiet and is smooth. I have had mine for about 35k miles and they still have a little meat left.
