Tires Hankook or Kumho
I love the Hankook Dyanpro AT-M's on my 4Runner, they might be what you're looking for but there are several good options out there. They've been on my truck for 12,000 miles and as of last week they all had 7/32" tread left so they should last a while. Noise levels and wet/snow traction is very good as well.
Go with the Khumo. They’re a reputable brand. I’ve heard of some people having issues with the warranty. My personal first hand; they were a great performing tire. I rode mine hard though. So they only lasted about a year and half. It was the MT.
Kumho is a well known brand compared to the rest. I'd do kumho solus before any of them.
Hankook’s VentusPrime 3 is a solid tyre and won’t break the bank. When my mother was changing away from her Goodyear EG’s like you have at the minute, they’re what I stuck on for her. Solid tyre with solid reviews behind it.
I had Ventus V12's on my M3 and my brothers Passat came factory with Optimos and both have been/were decent tires.
Ventus Prime 3 is a solid tyre. I stuck them on my mothers car and they’ve been good. Touch quieter than the Goodyear tyres before.
To my relief, no signs of a downgrade going from Michelin to Hankook. Tyre wear might even be slightly better on the Hankook.
Since last time you saw it I upgraded the brakes to 312mm rotors with ATE 57 calipers in front and 256mm disk brakes in the rear and replaced the heavy Mercedes replica 18" wheels with BBS RK's in 8J 17 wrapped in sticky kumho KU-36 rubber.
The Kumho's aren't that bad in noise, until you get to the halfway point, then it starts to get noisy.
My experience with Kuhmos is they were prone to sidewall bubbles after pot-holes or curb contact.
