Cooper Zeons or ATR's or Something else ?

Time for new tires but looking for some advice. I have read all the tire posts but can't seem to gauge how much more road noise in a zeon vs the ATR.

I currently have the ATR's that are at 35k miles and end of life. I was very happy with ALL aspects of this tire (excellent all weather traction, and silent road noise) except tread life. The Coopers are very intriguing and look great but I would not want a loud road noise tire.

Wet/snow traction is important as well as low road noise.
Our driving is 95% street.

Stick with the ATR's or go with the Zeons ?

The Coopers wear like Iron, but they slightily hum on the highway over 45mph, granted this is for S-rated 275/45-20's. The Pirelli's also have better wet grip and hydroplane resistance - IMO. The Coopers are much better offroad, however, and among the best ATs I have ever experienced.

I run the Hankook Ventus AS... really like them and they are a very quiet, all around great tire...

I've got almost 30k miles with tread for another 15k-20k...

I do have a little feathering on them as I need new shocks, but I would certainly buy again...
