Stock tires… horrible performance

I am okay with the Goodyear's for now (since they are now properly inflated). I have the Turbo PP. I don't know a lot about tires, but when I do replace them, I'd like the quietest tire that has good rain performance. I live in Louisiana, so heat and rain is mostly what I encounter.

What 20" would you all suggest to me for a quieter ride and better wet road performance?
Often times, tires are pretty subjective but I base my purchasing decision usually on TireRacks tire comparison ratings for dry/wet/snow/comfort and UTQG. I currently have the Michelin CrossClimate 2's for my 2016 CX-5 and I've noticed a big difference in the vehicle's handling/decreased braking distance and overall grip compared to the GoodYear Assurance that I've had prior to that and the OEM Yokohama's. I would probably recommend getting the CrossClimate 2's for the vehicle but one thing to caution is that they are directional tires so I would verify that it is mounted properly. The Mazda dealership that I went to mounted a few of mine in the wrong orientation and I didn't notice it until after a few months.
