Which tyres are best for the Jaguar X-Type?

My 2005 Jaguar X-Type 2.1 V6 petrol automatic has always been shod with Pirelli P-Zero 225/45 ZR17 and is now nearing a change. As it is never driven above the legal limit, would I be better off with a different type of tyre, one that would give a softer ride. What do you recommend?

You can get Michelin Cross Climates in 225/45 R17 94W XL. They are more compliant and if run slightly blow the recommended cold pressures will give a slightly better and much more pleasant ride.
