What tyres do you recommend for a Ford Galaxy?

We have just acquired a 59 plate Galaxy TDCI automatic which has a complete mishmash of tyres on it with about 4mm tread, and I'm looking to put a matching set on. The current size is 225/55/R17.

What would you recommend that meets the requirement for extra load/reinforced but also offers good mileage and a smooth, quiet ride?

Michelin Primacy 3s, Goodyear Excellence or Toyo J48s.
