What tyres should I use on my Mazda CX5?

I have 17-inch rims on my 2015 Mazda CX5 and still have a very choppy ride on many A roads and all B class.

First try running the tyres at slightly lower pressures. Try cold pressures of 32PSI all round. Still not good enough, then fit a set of softer compound all weather tyres. Michelin Cross Climate are best, but may not do the size. Next, Goodyear Vector 4-Seasons Gen 2. After that, Nokian Weatherproof, Vredestein Quatrac, Bridgestone A001s, Pirelli Scorpion Verde.
