... Continental Cross Contact LX25 (good overall,old model design, ok for all seasons)...
I also do not like the stock Toyo's on my 2019 GTR. Still plenty of tread left so I've been dragging my feet replacing them. I replaced the tires on my wife's Outback with the Conti LX25 & have been very pleased with them.Continental Cross Contact LX25 (good overall,old model design, ok for all seasons)

That’s a bummer. I’ve got 30k miles on my CC2 tires and they’re holding up well. They’re 17” though and could be a different size than your neighbors.I too was looking for a replacement for my oem Toyo's, but due to premature wear. They do start to get noisy as they wear. I was looking at the Conti LX25's, Michelin CC 2's and the Pirelli Scorpion AS plus 3's. Don't get me wrong, the Toyo's were a great performing tire but who wants to buy an expensive tire then have to replace it way to early. I compared the ratings of my other choices and the Pirelli Scorpion AS plus 3, which was a new model in 2021, came out on top. I bought mine at COSTCO (here in Canada). They tried to sell me the Michelin CC2's but I resisted and I'm glad I did, as my neighbor bought the CC2's and loved them for 8 months until they started to get REALLY noisy, so bad in fact, that he returned them to COSTCO. I absolutely LOVE my Pirelli Scorpion AS plus 3's, so far.
I've liked them pretty fine too. I'm over 50K miles but use separate Winter tires for like 4 months a year. I did notice the season before last that they had gotten louder and poorer traction in wet. But then last season they seemed fine. And they're back on again as of Sunday.My 2019 has the Toyo A36 tires and it seems a lot of people don't like them for one reason or another. I've had no problem with them.I've got 47000 miles on them and now I'm thinking of replacing them. Maybe it's because I live in Florida I haven't had trouble. I'm satisfied with them.
