Default Best Tire for Ride Comfort

Quick question guys, I'm looking to make the switch from stock 245/50/16 tires to 275/40/17

I understand that the shorter sidewall of the 275/40 will cause a considerable drop in ride comfort, so I'm looking for a reasonably priced tire for my 99 Z daily driver that wont be too stiff

I don't really care too much for handling, I drive my car to and from work and school, I'm mainly looking for comfort

Thanks

Not sure if they make an H rated tire in a 275/40 but they have a less stiff sidewall from a Z/W/Y rated tire.
