I just bought these as well, have about 1,600 miles on them. So far slightly less efficient than the stock Continentals (expected), but a quieter more comfortable ride - which was my goal.
Now, I have vikingcontact8 tires which are also amazing.
I have continental dws06 plus all seasons and haven't had a hiccup. This car has treated me surprisingly well in the snow
I can second the contis as being great in summer, handling >30 degrees Celsius with aplomb.
Even with the stock Toyos, this car handled like a champ.
Of the four tires on your list, the Conti seems to me the most suitable for your conditions.
I have them on my XC60 and I like them very much.
I am a big sucker for GP5000 S TR, and run them in 32mm. Absolutely love it, and they work really well on hardback/light gravel too, speedy, grippy, and no punctures.
I went with the same tire and size with the Model X rims, up from the 19s. I'm seeing about a 9% range loss around town, but I'm also driving it a lot harder now that I have the traction. I do feel like I have a lot more camber in the rear, that I definitely need to take care of. Most surprisingly, I think the ride is so much better than the 19 Cont Rxs. Sound seems ok, but I think I got a bad tire or something because my front drivers side tire makes a lot of noise. I was hoping it would go away, but it seems to have gotten worse.
The stock and subsequent 20" Conti Pro Contact sucked. I went thru so many tire hitting a smallish pothole at various speeds at on/off ramps, side streets, highways, turns, etc. I would get a bubble every time.
My experience with Continental Tire...I loved them. My wife loved them. Right up to the point that the second set tried to do us in. Driving home to the SF Bay Area from So. Cal on a hot summer day. Right rear tire fails suddenly and catastrophically with 2/3rds of the tread separating from the carcass.
