Tires choices for Ford Edge

[Scott S]

Does anyone have any experience good or bad with these tires? The tire size, is 255/60R18 and it will be going on a Ford Edge

Evoluxx Capricorn 4X4 HP All-Season Truck/SUV Performance Radial XL

Milestar MS932 Sport All Season

Prinx HiSeason 4S HS1.

The Evoluxx and the Prinx claim to be 70K tires, Evoluxx is also a two-ply side wall, that may have a decent ride..
Milestar that's been around a long time, they were around when I worked at a tire shop, and that was a long time ago!!

I put a set of Milestar MS932s on my Focus and they were so-so....they handled decently but didn't last nearly as long as rated (IIRC they were wearing down by 20k with rotations). One of the four must have had a belt slip as it wore badly on the inside despite an alignment showing all was good. I wouldn't buy them again.

In general tires are in the "you get what you pay for" category. Off brand tires usually have mediocre performance. But I see you aren't in a snowy state so it may not be as big of an issue.

I'd get Goodyear Reliants from WM over any of those random brand tires

I have Uniroyal Tiger paw A/S on there at the moment, they've been on for about 5 years, 20,000 MI, tread is excellent, rides well, handles well, but it's dry rotted to hell l.. (typical Michelin)

The Milestar MS932 is a solid choice...one BTW I would pick over the Douglas.

They don't carry them in that size

Did personal economics (absence of $) drive this selection? No mocking, just asking.

I'm not trying to imply tires are trash if you don't go top tier. I more mean it's worth the extra money a lot of the time. But different vehicles, uses, environments and financial situations dictate choices. Best of luck.

I could wait, I'm just trying to avoid, having any issues on the side of the road.. I am not the best of health, to be replacing tires.. or the patience for roadside assistance, LMAO I could probably wait a little bit and get some Continentals or BF Goodrich

That would be a safe assumption...wouldn't it?

I didn't do the standard reply on this forum-"For just a few dollars more you could get Michelins". LOL!

I completely understand, you get what you pay for!! And I typically use only OEM for the engine parts and all, I have never cheaped out there..

I put a set of Cooper Endeavor Plus on my Edge. Great tires, reasonable price.

Sounds like these tires will age out before wear out? Do you avoid driving in the rain, by any chance? If so, I might be tempted to go for the cheapest one, as long as it doesn't have complaints about not balancing or other issue. I am a fan of buying the "better" (not "best") tires but this seems like a case where it is not needed.

Sorry I can't be of more help, none of these are brands that I normally shop.

I recommend not getting non name brand tires, also do not get store exclusive tires even if name brand.

Why? if you end up getting a flat that is non repairable and that tire is not readily available or no longer produced you are SOL. For example my truck has Goodyear Viva 3's, 1 tire is bad all the other 3 are perfectly fine only about 8,000 miles on them but Walmart discontinued the Viva 3 so I am SOL and need to buy all 4 new tires because mix-matching tires in the long term impacts fuel mileage and strains the drivetrain especially in AWD/4WD applications.

As a result I am getting Toyo Extensa II which are readily available and not discontinued nor are they exclusive to any store.

You might think well I can save a lot going with these cheap brands, but in the end you might end up paying more.

What about the General Altimax RT43 tires...everybody's darling? Lots of 18" sizes

Obsolete now--have to use RT45's. Just got my first set of them, will know in a couple of years how good they are.

I had a set of the Milestar MS932 on my Infiniti sedan. I liked the ride and handling, but they were V rated and were pretty worn after 20K miles so I replaced them. It is noted that the M35 has always been hard on tires, being they are V rated.

I’ve seen some positive reviews on PrinX tires.
