I also found some Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Seasons at a great price

Our car, 2018 Ford Escape Titanium w 19" wheels, came with tires that Tire Rack rates as grand touring (Continental Pro Contact). I've been satisfied with them and they've lasted about 60k miles per set. It's that time again and I've noticed the Goodyear Maxlife 2 however they are only listed...

I grew up in the Chicago area in the 1970's and the were pretty common on Caddys and Oldsmobiles. The local Caddy/Olds dealer, Knoerzer, sold Vogues. They used to be made, I think, in Cumberland, Maryland by Goodyear/Kelly Springfield

I'll take a look at the Pirellis and Continentals. I had a set of Scorpion Verde all seasons on my old Mariner and they were good. Continental come with a free, first year road hazard policy and that paid off a couple of times on my wife's car
