Which tyres for my Ford Mondeo will reduce road noise?

I have a 2008 Ford Mondeo hatchback with original Bridgestone Potenza 235/45 R17 97W tyres which will need replacing very soon. These are low profile and are noisy. Please can you suggest a good replacement that run more quietly?

We'd suggest trying Michelin Energy or Michelin Pilot Primacy HP (depending on size) which tend to be the quietest.
