rbalaian Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 I'm looking for peoples thoughts on tires for some new 20" wheels that are going on my wife's Edge. I think 255/50/20 is the size I'm looking for. I'm hoping people on this forum can give me some input on Goodyear Eagle RSAs, Goodyear Fortera HLs, or Pirelli Scorpion Zeros, and how they compare to the OEM 18" tires. I'm leaning towards the RSA, because the only time the thing isnt on pavement is when I take it to Tahoe (and the OEM tires nearing the wear marks are good enough for that as evidenced by this past weekend, so the offroad performance is totally secondary). I'm also curious what other folks think about the tire size. I chose that size because the wheels are 20x8.5 with a 35mm offset (meaning they are going to stick out 22mm wider than the OEM wheels), and I don't want the rubber to stick out too much further than that, so no 275/45 for me I think. Thanks in advance. The wheels are on order...just need to sort out the rubber situation. rb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dre13Style Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Go all out and get some 22"s. I took off my stock 18" on my mkx and put 2011 edge sport rims on it. I loveeee it. Took some mods but it works. Stick with an OEM wheel if you want to keep a nice smooth ride. Otherwise get some 3 piece wheels made up. In my opinion most these tire shack junk type wheels are rubbish and dont hold up well. The ride is just awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dre13Style Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 I actually found the rims on here. I was very lucky the person who had them was only a 2 hour drive from me. They are in good shape and cost $1100. The had no sensors or bands though. I had to have them machined out to fit my mkx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
