I've used Nokian WR and WR G2 tires with very good results. They'd coast a long way. Mine weren't horribly noisy. Wear rate was so-so; anything over 40k was pushing it.
Nokian make an LRR WR G4 (later generation) tire in 185-65-14. Would that work? They will probably be hard to find, and will probably be made in Russia, if that matters to you. Nokians also tend to be a bit more expensive than other tires. https://www.nokiantires.com/all-weather-tires/nokian-wr-g4/ I've also used Firestone Fuel Fighter tires with no problems. I agree that they're noisy, but I don't think they were markedly louder than the Invicta GLRs I had long ago. You can't have everything. The rolling resistance was maybe 5% higher than the Nokians. They wore like iron; did 55k and still had tread left. Traction was OK for summer, not so great for winter. They were relatively inexpensive. Your choices will probably be wider if you splurge for 15" wheels and fit lower profile tires. I think that the cheaper models of (at least) Hyundai Ioniq Electrics, VW E-Golfs, and Renault Zoes still use 15" tires, and most of the big EU tire makers build specialty LRR tires to suit them.
