Default tire question

have to get new tires so im looking at options. I made sure to get non directional on the last set but im now wondering if that is that important. The car is stock and is on the highway a lot. Here are the options im looking at.

what i have now and am happy with:

another option:

another option:

i think the ones i have now are the worst of the three, and are rated that way too. I think the michelins are probably the best, but idk if i want to go directional. what do you guys think? anyone have any of these??

thanks

From my experience the Michelins are almost always your top hit. I'm running with a 2nd set of the Pirelli P6s and am happy with them (not the price though!)

I've decided on the michelins. They have much better ratings in tirerack.com tests. Plus, I called discount and the price they show for those tires is around $200 a piece, but they are going to give me the price showing online which is $127, so I'll be getting a lot more tire for the money. Hopefully the fact that it's a directional tire won't be a problem.
