Which tyres will reduce road noise in my Skoda Octavia?

I run a Skoda Octavia diesel estate and need to replace the front tyres, which seem to create a lot of road noise. I appreciate our roads are not in a good state but wondered if there is a brand which is quieter?

Micheline tyres tend to be the quietest. Either Energy Saver or Primacy HP (depending on size) are the best for low noise.
