Which tyres could I fit to my Skoda Octavia to improve the ride?

My wife and I are both over 80 and are finding the suspension of our Skoda Octavia 1.9DSG estate car harsh when the car is lightly loaded, although quite smooth when the car is more heavily loaded. I have taken a first step by adding supplementary seat cushions, but I wonder whether you could suggest tyres providing a smoother and softer ride than the Bridgestone Turanzas currently fitted?

Michelin Energy or Michelin Pilot Primacy HP (depending on size) are the quietest.
