It's my first time buying tires for my 2019 Trax, 205/70R16. It's my daily driver, mostly city and highway. My priorities are a quiet and comfortable ride, good wet weather traction, and decent tread life. I'm not looking to break the bank, but I'm willing to pay a bit more for quality. Anyone have recommendations for aftermarket all-season tires that hit these notes? I'm open to any brands you've had good experiences with on your Trax or similar small SUVs. Looking forward to your recos!

While the CrossClimate 2 is absolutely the best allrounder and does well in snow, I think for your situation you should consider the Hankook Kinergy PT. It's affordable, comfortable and quiet, so it ticks all the right boxes for you.

@Traxtothemax1 is right with the Kinergy PT. I've got them on my Encore and they're super comfy with no road noise, even in heavy rain. 
But hey OP I'll throw in the General Altimax RT45 too. It handles great, rides smooth, and won't empty your wallet.
