Good question. It's hard to offer an opinion by brand only. Also knowing the OPs specific needs and purposes would be required to offer any advice of significance.

I have a 90 coupe 77k. Just dropped $2800 to replace head gaskets and assorted other work. It now runs great but tires are the next issue.
I am a weekend driver and put 3000 mile a year on the car. Don't drive in the rain if I can avoid it.
Handling, ride comfort and noise level are my main thing. And, ofcourse price. Also the car tends to sit in the garage more then it's driven. How do I avoid flat spots on the tires??

I'm not going to suggest any tires simply because tire noise is something that I just don't pay attention to. I've had quite a few different kinds of tires on mine and I could tell you a lot of things about any of them, but noise isn't one of them.
They do make some things that you can park on that are supposed to prevent tire flat-spotting in cars that sit. Once again, never been a concern for me. Mine is driven constantly.

Ok fair enough
How about a recommendation based on your experience

No problem. The best handling street tire I've had on my car was the Kumho MX. I found it to be as good, and even more predictable, than the Goodyear F1 Supercar which is another great tire I've tried. And they're much less expensive too, needless to say. The Kumho doesn't have a high wear number, but for your purposes, it'll likely harden with age before you can wear it out. And although rated as a dry and warm weather tire, as long as the tread is still pretty good, it won't be scary should you ever be caught in the rain.
