This x1000. Ride comfort is more a function of tire construction than size. Check Tire Rack test reports, customer surveys, and reviews.

I would say try the Continental ExtremeContact. They tend to have a slightly softer sidewall for a summer performance tire.

Ah, but there's more than one Conti "ExtremeContact"...
ExtremeContact DW:

What We Liked: Impressive wet traction and
comfortable road manners
What We'd Improve: More precise steering response and handling
Conclusion: A great choice for anyone wanting solid overall capability
ExtremeContact Sport:
https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tests...y.jsp?ttid=223
What We Liked: Responsive steering and very strong wet traction.
What We'd Improve:
Road manners aren't as refined as the other tires in this test.
Conclusion: Continental has really stepped up their Max Performance Summer game with this one.
