Quietist 17" Tyres for R56

The tyre recommendation thread is a bit long and seems to have lost a little focus so i thought i'd ask directly.

I have to update 2 of my tyres for my R56 Cooper S. I really want the quiestest, most comfortable, tyres i can get and am willing to give up some grip. They are Dunlop SP01's and i hate them.

I've read some good reviews of the Continentals and they have launched the SportContact 5. However this is hard to get where i live (I don't know why).

I was thinking of maybe a Bridgestone Potenza but people have said it was noisy. I don't know if they meant the new one or the older generation.

I'm also running some P-Zero Nero RFTs but i'm not too happy with them.

Any suggestions would be great. Not too worried about price and i'll probably go non-RFT.
