Tyre advice please

My 05-plate Honda CRV 2.0-litre petrol auto needs two front tyres. Can you recommend best option for economy, road noise and all-year use. We cover a low mileage of around 6000 miles per year.

All the tyres have to be the same and the same rolling circumference othewise the automatic AWD system will become confused and severe wear will result. For this car for road use, probably Pirelli Scorpion STRs or Micherlin Latitude.
