best 19.5 tire

I am thinking of geting a set of rickson 19.5 wheels but I dont know what tire to get.
I read some of the posts and I see "michelins are noisy" and "poor wet traction" . Michelin makes so many treds do they all stink.

what does everybody think about the brand they picked? noise, traction, and handling?

I will probably go with the 245/70/19.5 LRF 12ply, but help me decide on brand and model.

thanks
