Which tyres for my Kia Sorento KX-3 diesel (early 2012 reg)?

I have a Kia Sorento KX-3 diesel (early 2012 reg), with its original Roadian tyres 235/60R18 103H. While these are very hardwearing, they feel ‘hard’ & seem to pick up and transmit every small irregularity in the road surface. The tyres are now worn and I’m due to replace them. Can you recommend some tyres which would be more absorbent of surface irregularities to give a more comfortable ride?
