Erik Hilliard Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 I've searched, but does anyone know the actual summer tire used? I have not seen one Edge in my area (NJ) with them actually optioned on. And looking at summer tire prices for 21" wheels, $995 is a freaking steal. And even though my area doesn't really require a winter wheel/tire setup, I like to go that route. And for those who have stayed with the AS, have you liked the Pirelli's that are on? I have had Pirelli's on older Audis and have hated them. So it's a mild concern of mine to have a new vehicle with Pirellis. They do get good reviews on tirerack but curious what owners here feel.

I went with the AS's on my 21's and they have been great. Granted I don't have the summer-only tires to compare against, but I always ran summer tires on my WRX I owned before the Edge and haven't noticed much difference in the 'spirited' corners I take on my commute (other than the obvious physical handling differences between an Edge and a WRX) Noise level is low, dry and wet performance seem fine. We do get occasional snow around where I live, so we'll see how they do in the winter. If they perform well I would consider getting OEM replacements when the time comes. Normally tires are the first thing I look forward to upgrading, but so far these have been good. If their winter performance isn't as good as hoped, will probably split off to a Summer + winter tire/wheel option. -SJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optional summer tires are Pirelli P-Zero. Same model as the summer tires on Mustang GT's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Hilliard Posted September 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 Thanks 27. I guess it's all Pirelli with Ford, I guess I should not be surprised. Looks like I'll be going with the AS as my dealer is working a trade with another dealer. Now just need to get a deal done. Thanks redlancer for the review of the ASs.
