JCrew7384 Posted December 20, 2018 Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 Anyone have thoughts/suggestions on winter tires for a new Edge ST with the 21" wheels? I don't see many if any options available online for a winter tire that size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omar302 Posted December 20, 2018 Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 OK, first I am not affiliated with this company, just happened to find them & used their summer tire and found it good. It is not a known brand, but being made the Netherlands should be good. They also have a winter tire in 21". https://www.vredestein.com/car-suv-van/tyre-finder/tyres/product/0/Ford/Edge/2016/Sport/3-8714692339684/0/0/911-wintrac-xtreme-s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onyxbfly Posted December 20, 2018 Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 Pirelli makes two different winter tires in our size. Michelin makes a winter tire in our size. Atturo makes a a winter tire (ironic since they do not have an all season LOL) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben senise Posted December 21, 2018 Report Share Posted December 21, 2018 (edited) I lived in Europe for nearly 30 years and this brand is quite well known there. I've never owned these tires though. According to Wikipedia, they were bought by an Indian company in 2009. Edited December 21, 2018 by ben senise spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
037 Posted December 21, 2018 Report Share Posted December 21, 2018 I have a set of 21" MKX wheels with Pirelli Winter Scorpions for sale. I just test fitted them to the Edge, see photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
037 Posted December 21, 2018 Report Share Posted December 21, 2018 (edited) I'm in NY so short delivery, I am using the same tires on my new car, they are excellent. 265/40/21 stock size. Edited December 21, 2018 by 037 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see many if any options available online for a winter tire that size. I don’t understand why you would want to install winter tires, then in the spring remove them , and reinstall your summer tires. Get some smaller ‘winter wheels/tires’ so you don’t have that hassle, plus rebalance, and possible/probable damage to the wheels. I would never go through that BS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCrew7384 Posted March 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2019 What size wheels/tires can I go to if I replace the entire package? Does that throw off any of the AWD functionality? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted March 28, 2019 Report Share Posted March 28, 2019 Keep tire height the same and you are good to go. Many online calculators available to tell you the difference between current and future setups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that throw off any of the AWD functionality? You might find that it is cheaper to buy wheels + tires than just tires at that size. I got some new 18" wheels + tires to swap for my 22" wheels on my 2011 sport and it was actually $250 cheaper than just buying the 22" tires. I used tirerack and they came mounted and balanced with new TPM sensors and all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any reputable tires site will provide you with compatible options. You can also see what your local dealership is offering as winter options. One of the sites i use https://www.wheel-size.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re usually safe with the OEM sizes but the ST brake rotors might require larger wheels. Base ST is 245/50R20 without the brake package so that would be safe and would have a lot more options. You might be able to get away with 245/60R18s like the SE but you’d need to double check brake clearance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picture posted in an earlier response on this thread. Been running on them all winter with no issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
