House Battery

Anyone here know a good replacement for the 27DC lead acid house battery ?
I'm thinking of an AGM equivalent.
Not interested in Lithium battery .

Michelin Agelis Crossclimate type C-Metric

Is anyone using these on a T1N based Sprinter ?

They have a higher load rating than the regular Agelis Crossclimate and I'm wondering how the noise /comfort is with these tyres ?

Thanks
