Cont. Tires: True Contact Tour 54 vs Extreme Contact DWS06+ on 2019

I have a 2019 Volvo S60 T5 and am fixated on the budget "performance" tires the dealer installed. They do have great grip and corner nicely but they drone and transmit every bump when many of my roads in New York, US are not smooth. Frost action causes so many ruts and potholes even in roads less than 3 years old so the low profile tires are not ideal. I want to size up to 245/40/19 because I want a little more meat on the 19's.

I am pretty set between these two as I have always loved continentals. I have read many reviews online about both tires but its also hard because every car and road is different. I see things like the DWS being great in every category but the Tour 54 being excellent at comfort and noise but less so in turns with its tall tread.

For me specifically, its a spring/summer/fall only car so snow performance not necessary. I commute 30 mins/day on highway which has its road character. I do enjoy the sporty fell of cornering but I absolutely prefer quiet comfort.

So specifically for you s60 owners who have driven either of these tires on your cars, any insight and experience to provide when it comes to these?
