Need quieter tyres for Lexus GS 450h

Can you recommend quieter tyres for the Lexus GS 450H? It currently has Yokohama Advan A10 tyres, but the ride is spoilt by the noisy tyres.

To fit quieter tyres you will need to go down a wheel size or two and fit deeper profile low rolling resistance tyres. If you stick with the 245/40 R18s then try Michelin Primacy 3.
