Which tyres will give the best ride in a Jaguar XJ?

I am about to replace my 2009 Jaguar XJ's 20-inch factory fitted alloys with 18-inch wheels for a better ride. Which tyres would you recommend? Annual mileage is less than 5000 a year on local roads.

The tyre size is probably 245/45 R18 100W. For quietness, Michelin Primacy 3 are probably best.
