If you are open to having another credit card, the Goodyear Credit Card will get you a total of $180 back on a set of 4 WeatherReady 2.
I have a discount tire one and a Continental one I use just for tires and pay off very quickly.
This is size I'm looking at but saw the deal on bottom.

We are in our second winter with original WeatherReadys on my wife’s Edge. They are wearing well and definitely a notable step above a typical all season in bad weather. I’d not hesitate to purchase the 2’s which by all accounts seem to be even better.
The WeatherReady2 test well on TR and the added rebate is a nice incentive.
How do you find the originals on the Edge for noise? When I bought my Accord used they were on it and had a lot of tread (9-10/32"). They were balanced ok, didn't notice vibrations but they were probably the noisiest tires I ever had. That first winter I still had my Conti WinterContact Si from my Sonata they went on. The second winter I wanted to try the Weather Ready's but as I was installing, all the sidewalls had large cracks all around like sidewall cap was separating. I went to Goodyear and they agreed and warrantied/Prorated them even though I had no receipt based on DOT date and tread. They let me replace them with a set of WinterCommand Ultra instead so kudos for the customer service. The WinterCommand has not balanced great, not crazy, just an annoying slight vibration. They redid the balance, same issue. I paid to have it done again with roadforce, same issue.
Not enough to abandon them early and at 7/32" now I'm also not paying to rebalance again. They do work well in snow/ice and have been good in dry/wet and not noisy. I'll say that the WinterCommand Ultra is quieter on My Accord than the original WeatherReady's were. Maybe I had a bad set.
This was how all 4 original WeatherReady's were cracking. I wasn't trusting that for my family since wife and kids also use my car.
I haven’t noticed any noise at all, they’ve been really nice tires. I’m going to go look at sidewalls now though.
@Sequoiasoon Tires look great but appreciate the heads up. On pace to get about 50k out of them would be my guess. Clearly you had a bad lot I’d guess those failures were related to the noise as well.
If this is your short list, I'd rank it;
Conti, GY and get rid if the Pirelli.
The Nokians are great tires, I'd buy one of them from your list over the Pirelli's. Had a set on a Ford Edge at work and they were very good tires in the snow for an allseason tire.
I had a set of Pirelli ATs on my Honda and they were not what they used to be. Wore out in <30k miles and not good in the rain or snow. I replaced them with Cooper Discoverer ATs from wallymart . com, 4th set I purchased and excellent tires.
mine track great in the rain. I was running 80 plus in heavy rain had no issues. we had some pretty good snow in January and they did pretty good there too.
