Which tyres for my Arosa?

I drive a Seat Arosa fitted with 185/55 alloys. What tyres would give me the softest ride?

All pretty much the same. I have good experience of Toyo J48 205/55 R16s, but don't know if they do 185/55s. I do have a car on Michelin Energy Saver 185/55s and it's fine and the tyres are wearing well.
