I guess that most people on Retro Rides would favour a performance tyre but I am looking for suggestions for mid price comfort tyres to go on my modern car, any ideas?

Got nexen on my e46, mainly because i needed 4 urgently and its all my local place had. Its only a 320 ( 4 cylinder performance with 6 cylinder economy), but they seem a pretty solid all rounder.

I use Avons on my SLK. Decent mid-range tyres that are comfortable and grip well.They seem to last well too.

My Juke does a high mileage (over 800 a week) I got Goodyear Efficientgrip Performance 2's fitted earlier this year, they seem good, wearing well, good grip (wet & dry) don't seem noisy.
My wife's Cruiser doesn't see anything like that mileage so as a cheaper option it got Toyo Proxy CF2's which again seem a decent tyre, used them before on other cars and they were fine, softer compound so I suspect they won't get the mileage the Goodyear's will.

uniroyal rainexpert, michelin energy, continental ecocontact.
avoid the cheaper stuff, they'll be noisy and poorer on the wet greasy stuff

I went for Nexens on my S Class.
The guy who fitted them (at a normal garage, not a tyre garage) said they had the softest sidewalls of any tyre he'd ever fitted.
The ride seems comfortable. I've not properly unleashed whatever remains of the original 300bhp yet to see how they handle that!
Edit: I've also had Kumhos on my Volvo 740. It's done 35k miles on them so far, and I reckon I'll get another 15k+ before they need replacing... again, ride and handling is good.
