Tires Continental or DUNLOP
When the GP 5000's came out, it was a first for me. I actually wrote to Conti to tell them how good they were.
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.
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 had that problem when I switched from the OEM Michelins on my Model 3 to the Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 tires; I lost about 10% range.
Got a this set of GP5000 28mm last year and have not many miles on them, maybe 300-400 mi. total. Shame to see this sidewall fail so quick, is it a fluke? What could have caused it?
At around 40-45 degrees, stock Dunlops start to slip around corners with these tires in a bad way. 30's, you'll definitely lose control easily and slide with any hard braking.
The Dunlop summers? Yeah they're terrible lol. Basically useless under 40 degrees as they turn rock solid and no longer grip the road
