Hey guys.
So the short version of the story is that my Kinergy GT tires are showing signs of noise when turning more so when I complete a turn and accelerate afterwards, but also, very little traction in rain, and that's a problem because Florida is incredibly bi-polar with its weather system.

I've done a bit of reading on the tire forums in general. A lot of my friends IRL recommend solely summer tires as a general form factor to build onto, but I've never gotten close to the right product. As it seems, reviews are very hard to follow through with when nowadays people review a product and sometimes haven't even bought it or just simply don't take care of the product in general. I joined this community to get into cars and to talk to the right people.
So I have a 2019 civic hatchback LX, absolutely beautiful car and she drives great with the current stock Kinergy GT tires. The tires are quiet, not even on the highway do I hear any noise which is impressive. They grip semi well, I blew through a park a few times and never lost traction but I could tell my tires didn't like gripping onto the pavement. Just basing it off the sound of the tires and the rough steering feedback too.
I got her at 0 flat miles so I'm only 3.6k or so into her. The tires should be fine for another 3-6 months if I just drive like a standard city person. But tires have been a concern since day 1. Something tells me the dealership sold me on tires that were probably dry rotting on the lot. But that's okay, shes a good piece of machinery managed by a bunch of retards and I'm glad I was able to pull her out.
Guys, I believe my tires are roughly 16"s, I can verify if required the whole string of text on the tires but I need a good recommendation on Summer Tires built to drive well on rain/hot pavements, has a lasting impression on mileage, and better consumer reviews rather than rate to hate garbage. My budget on tires would be as low as $100 but as a high as $150 each. If there more critical tire is over my max, then itll become a long term goal and will probably be pushed off after brakes.
I want to maintain grip confidence of my girl. Keep her quiet. And offer equal performance as the Kinergy GT. Gas Mileage is already ridiculously good, I can sacrifice a bit of MPG for some tires.
Picture I uploaded was before I got tints on her, and probably one of the first few washes I did on her too when i used to work 4-6 hour morning shifts and have the day to maintenance my car, now it's once a week and probably at night time, that I wash her.
