Default looking for new rubber

OK, got new wheels -Enkei PF01's and was just going to transfer my current rubber which still has quite a bit of tread life left from the Rota's to the Enkei's. I am also considering new rubbber. This is a daily driver, canyons on weekends, no track. I am considering Continental Extreme Contact DW, Yokohama Advan Sport, Nitto Invo. I have not tried any of these and looking for feedback, good or bad and always open to other tire manufaturer recommendations. The current rubber I have are the Sumitomo HTR Z3's which in my opinion is a good tire, good handling, stick well in the corners, and they are quiet. So just looking for recommendations and/or feedback.
Thanks, everyone enjoy the upcoming labor day weekend, and stay safe.

I've run Advan Sports for quite a few years now. IMO it's an excellent tire. Traction wet and dry is very good (miles better than the FK452's I have now), it's also very quiet and more comfortable than some. Doesn't make any noise when you're pushing it. The drawbacks are that the sidewall is not as stiff as some, so initial turn in feel isn't quite as good. Treadwear is also not very good, I go though a set of rears about every 18000km. The fronts however last for about 3 sets of rears.
