Which tyres can I fit to my Ford C-Max to reduce road noise?

I own an 08 Ford C-Max 1.6 petrol and am very satisfied with the car. However, the road noise is quite loud from, I believe, the tyres. These tyres are Continental SportContact 2, size 205/55R16 91V and will need replacing all round within the next month or so. Do you have any advice regarding a quieter tyre please?
