I can second the contis as being great in summer, handling >30 degrees Celsius with aplomb.
Pros: great in summer

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.
Pros: I like them very much
Vehicle:
Volvo XC60
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.
Pros: speedy, grippy, no punctures
But my contis went 12,000km with zero punctures, which is either luck or a great advertisement
Pros: zero punctures, great advertisement
Mileage: 12000 km
once I switched to continental GP2000 S TR tires my times got waaaay faster plus I haven\u2019t a puncture since.
Pros: times got waaaay faster
Cons: puncture
I used tubeless 700x32 GP5000 AS TR all last year (and will again this year) and aside from the price, I have no complaints. The roads around here are always covered in trash... broken glass, chunks of metal, whatever. No significant punctures even though I definitely ran over some of that crap. I feel like they wore down a bit faster than the GP Four Seasons I ran for several years before that, though.
Pros: no significant punctures
Cons: wore down faster
Switched to 195/55r20 all round on my wife’s i3s. They fit perfect, the front 5j is just enough for proper fitting. Car felt more composed and comfortable afterwards and so much more choice in that size. Running the Continental AllSeasonContact2 which suits our conditions here in Ireland.
Pros: more composed, more comfortable
Vehicle:
BMW
Continental extreme contact dws. Best tires ever.
Pros: best tires ever
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.
Pros: better ride, more traction
Cons: range loss, tire noise
I live in NY, conti’s suck. Blew out so many that my dealership couldn’t get any more in stock and had the wheel and tire warranty.
Cons: blew out so many
