Edge Sport 21" Alloy Tires?


Harvey Hanson

Recommended Posts

So my dealer forgot to order my 21" alloys, meaning they are going to have to ship me a new set of 21" alloys which do not come with tires, so I am wondering:

A) What are the factory provided tires on 21" alloys (brand and model)

B) What are the best all-weather 21" alloy tires (I live in MN so combination of snow and sun)

 

Thanks

Bridgestone Duelers, Continental CrossContact, Yokohama Parada SpecX are just some of the well-received tires you can have put on. Tirerack provides a nice comparo here for the all-seasons (shown here for the 2007 AWD):

You can also look for non-CUV-specific tires (such as the Continental DWS/06) with the same load ratings, but not sure how well they'd perform on the Edge.

 

Look for incentives also on tires. Discount Tire Direct usually provides good incentives along with financing.

So update, the dealer offer me $2700 if I kept the 20" alloys rather and him buying new alloys and tires. BUT, I hate the standard alloys, and want some black ones. The plan is to buy some aftermarket 20" alloys and just take the tires off the new rims then keep the OEM rims in the garage for when I return the car. My question is, has anyone had any experiences with aftermarket alloys that they want to share, I saw some 20s for $175 a wheel, thoughts...?

Check out the Touren TR60. I've got the gunmetal ones as my winter wheels. IMHO they look good on the Edge and I believe they're available in black. Edited by SweetCandyEdge

Or use the $2700 to buy this set off Ebay. This place is well known and supplies many dealers and body shops in the Metro Detroit area.

No way am I paying that much for upgraded alloys, I was looking at $1000 or less for a nice set of 20s, any other suggestions on good black wheels?

But in the end you're not really out $2700 for them if the dealer gave you that amount for basically nothing. Sell your factory 20's and still come out ahead with the wheels you really wanted. You'll still pocket between $500-$1000 once you sell the 20's.
