Replacement tires for 2020 Touring Model

Looking for user experience with replacement tires for my 2020 Touring Model. Approaching 30 k miles on the OEM's and based on current mileage, I figure I'll need to replace them within the next 6-9 months. Conti CrossTracks are on there now, but I've narrowed it down to them, Michelin Defender and a couple of Cooper models. I'm looking for quiet and good wet traction. Vehicle will be driven very little in snow. Mileage is about 6,500 or so per year, so most tires will probably age out before they wear out.
Especially interested in hearing from those of you who have put Coopers on their ride.
TIA!

Just put a set of Cooper Endeavor Plus on wife's 2011 EXL earlier this year. They ride and feel fine-but we can hear them roar. Total cost was about $770.

Pep Boys did the installation- I do not recommend them.
Thanks! Don't want/need a lot of road noise and we don't have Pep Boys where we live. I've always had good luck with Walmart on pricing and installation.

The OEM tires on my 2019 needed replacement at only 15,000 miles; very disappointed. I now have 16,000 miles on a set of Pirelli Scorpion AS PLUS 3 and love them. Great grip, but silent and comfortable.
I have been able to coax about 30k miles from the OEM Conti CrossContacts. They are quiet and were excellent in wet weather, and understand the OEM tire issue, but I'm not going to reward them by buying a replacement set. That's outrageous that your OEM tires only lasted 15,000 miles!

I have the same as you (2020 CR-V Touring Model) with the same tires (OEM). I have over 86K miles now and have about 5/32" tread left. When the tires were new, the tread was at 10/32". The dealer informed me if I'm going on a major road trip, replace them. If I am just doing my normal driving, I can wait until mid-Fall which would be another 6-8K mile more. my driving consists of 75%/25% for highway/city driving in the Chicago area, and I don't have a problem even with the potholes around here.

My next set will be Continental or Good Year and I will get them at Discount Tire. I know from experience; stock tires were not the best and usually need replacing around 40K miles. Maybe somehow my car received a special batch when it was in the assembly line...LOL. Either way, get a 2nd opinion to sure, because I do not want you to waste money if your tires have a good amount of life still left. Please keep us informed about your choice. Good Luck.
Wow, just wow! Maybe you should buy a lottery ticket too, lol! Last time I did tread depth measurement there 3 at 5/32nd and one at 4/32nd.
Thanks for the input!
