All weather tires.


Recommended Posts

If I were in the market for a used AWD and the tires on the vehicle are mismatched it would raise some concerns for me. There is a lot of debate surrounding whether having mismatched tires can cause premature wear on the drivetrain of an AWD vehicle. There is even debate concerning whether to replace the entire set if one tire needs to be replaced due to a blowout or other damage, as AWD vehicles require tires with the same circumference. I am guessing that you want good wet and dry traction and a long period until replacement is necessary. Have you considered selecting the OEM Michelin tires? The ride quality of the Edge is exceptional, and the OEM Michelin tires are a part of the ride quality system.

I am assuming you will be replacing the set of 4 with these.

I have the wrg4s on our escape and they are the best all weather tires I have ever driven on.  Had them on 3 years now and they are still quiet and have plenty of tread remaining.  I expect to get more than 60k out of them.

What did you ever decide on tires? On 11/17/23 I got 4 Bridgestone Alenza AS Ultra tires and on 9/24/24 they were at 3/32... 17480 miles on an 80k tire.... sad by it./

I installed 4 of these on 8/22/2022 at 81,170 miles, and today at 107,160 miles there's still loads of tread left after 26K miles.

 

I haven't measured the tread depth, but quite confident they'll reach 80K miles.

I feel I just got a bad batch. Normal driving, most under 60mph. I don't have a 2position pedal, so i don't race to the next stop sign. Don't brake hard either. Rotated ever 5k with oil... just don't get it.

Hope you have good luck, i am on the search, not sure I want to try another set of the same.

It depends where the tires were made even within the same MFG. and tire type.  Some of the

countries have JUNK rubber compounds and make a tire that will never give the rated miles.

By the time the CLOWNS at the tire store get finished screwing the client with a tire adjustment,

one would have been better not going there at all! That is why they sell warranties with tires.

Like the guy in the commercial says, "You can pay me now and you can pay me later".

I replaced the OEM Hankooks at 35k miles with the Michelin Cross Climate 2s, The ride is very quiet and comfortable, even with the 20"s. The Hankooks wore ok, 3/32 - 5/32 left but I had a kole in the sidewall.  The Michelins are pricey but I like them so far and the tread looks cool.
