SR New Tire Recommendation (SOLVED)

I am ditching my stock OEM tires with two replacement from Goodyear with tires; loud road noise and spot balding. Any recommendations?
I am thinking about this

I've been riding these for 6k miles and love them. They're sporty, give plenty of traction, great braking and amazing in the rain.
An all around perfect tire.

If you want a max performance summer tire the new pilot sport 4S has great reviews.

I changed mine to Hankook Ventus Evo2. Their ride comfort is amazing and their price is just right in my opinion.

I have two options here;
1. Go with Goodyear again on FREE replacement or
2. Buy A/S 3+ or Serenity Plus? which one would you guys recommend?

Depends on your budget...."Your love one's lives and yours, must travel on the best 4 rubber pieces"

I replaced the harsh noisy OEM goodyears and I bought Michelins Pilot Sport 4 (same than S4), but 255/40/19 instead OEM specs 245/40/19...the best upgrade for my Maxima SR...smooth ride, no noisy, better corner and curb handle, better dry/wet performance.....all these with a little additional rubber...

Thanks Guys for helping me out.
UPDATE:
I went with Bridgestone Turanza Serenity Plus with OEM Specs 245/40R/19. Because of softer rubber compound and less stiffer side wall compared with Pilot A/S 3+.
The tire looks shorter in height compared with OEM Goodyear....BUT the disadvantage ends there.
I have put around 100 miles on the same road, which includes concrete highway with cross-section groves on the road ...TRUST me on this when I say its quite and very quite. Also, I have not felt any degradation on handling either.
Now, all I can hear is wind noise esp. signature whistling noise.

Hope this helps all SR folks out there.

I changed my original tires with Pirelli. Very quiet and good handling
