Hi Sonic,
For your requirements i would suggets a 185 width tire as well.
Tubeless tires are definitely the safer way to go, and can be temporarily made useable again if your in the countryside as Shan2nu mentioned..... however dont forget u also will have a spare tire... so shouldnt be an issue.
Now about which tires to choose - The Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D2's mentioned are an option... however they are marketed as "sport" tires, and hence i feel they do not completely meet your other requirements, being -

3) The ride quality should not be hard
4) Should not make too much noise

I have heard conflicting reports of the eagle f1s being noisy.... and since they are sport tires they will have stiffer sidewalls than other tires.
Check out Michelin's "Pilot Precedas" for a good sport/comfort/quiteness balance, or the Michelin Certis if you want to lean towards comfort some more.... (these are still exceptionally grippy tires!...)
Cheers
