Softening a SEAT

I find the ride on my SEAT Leon FR TSI really hard - much harder than my previous Leon 1.8 Turbo. The car has Pirelli PZero Rosso 225/45R 17 91W tyres fitted (excellent road holding but noisy). Could I get a softer ride by changing the tyres and if yes, what do you suggest/recommend ?

You would have to change the wheels as well and I don't think you can because smaller wheels would not fit around the brakes.
