Which tyres for my Honda FR-V?

Could you please advise on replacement tyres for a 2005 Honda FR-V 2.0 litre petrol? The current tyres are Michelin 205/55 R16s, as fitted from new. Is there a quieter running tyre or should I replace like for like?

If these are Michelin Energy or Michelin Primacy HP, then the new Michelin Primacy 3s should be marginally better. Alternatively, the 205/55 R16 Toyo J48s on my Mazda 5 (a similar type of car) have given an excellent combination of grip, feel, comfort and wear.
