Which new tyres for my Honda Jazz?

I have to replace my front tyres and am concerned about road noise as well as dry and wet braking. Can you suggest a tyre that will work well with my Honda Jazz 1.4 SE?

I recommend the Michelin Energy Saver 185/55 R15 82H. I've got them on my Fiat 500. They're quiet, fuel efficient, excellent in torrential ran and, at 15,000 miles, they are less than half-worn. The best tyres should always go on the back for stability when braking in the wet.

I have a Toyota RAV4 XTR 2.0L petrol, automatic, 57 plate with 20,000 miles. I need to replace the tyres. Whilst I am happy with the Yokohama Geolanders currently on the car, are there any better tyres...
