2007 Ford Edge SEL, Powerstop F/R Brake Kit, TXT LED 6000K Lo & Hi Beams, W16W LED Reverse Bulbs, 3BSpec 2.5w Map Lights, 5W Cree rear dome lights, 5W Cree cargo light, DTBL LED Taillights

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

I need an Ultra High Performance All-Season tire.  My factory Good Year SuuperCars are about toast at 15k miles, going to see how far in the summer I can get on them.

Buying tires is one of the hardest decisions! 

Everything is pointing towards the Cont ExtremeContact DWS.  I had them on my previous 2012 Sonata 2.0T and thought they were pretty good.  I run dedicated winter tires but can get a freak snow storm in June or September, so want the all season.

After doing some reading on here and going through alot of online reviews I settled on General Gmax AS-03's...

Generals tend to have softer sidewalls so don't be afraid to crank up the PSI a bit if they feel sloppy....

Don't have any experience with the DWS tires on a big car, but I put them on my son's 96 Mustang GT and it made a big difference in snow and rain. He's an oval track racer and with the old Michelin Pilots the GT wouldn't go in the snow.

255/45/20 seems to be the best size.  I'm going this route,  prices are cheaper too.

Any idea if there would be any clearance issues with the H&R springs ?

You won't have issues running the H&R's with those sizes.

I have these tires in 255/45/20 Installed for about 7 months. I highly recommend them. A little louder that the factory
mxv4 but much better wet and snow traction.  Would definitely buy them again.

I looked through some pictures of my newly painted rims and thought "if only I didn't have downpipe problems I could be driving it right now!"

It kills me seeing the lack of GOOD/Cheaper options of tires for the 19" wheel. Correct me if i'm wrong guys, but i'm seeing a lot of better tires that are CHEAPER on a 20" wheel than a 19" wheel. which almost leads me to believe that 2 sets of tires with a set of wheels in 20" is around the same price as 2 sets of tires on a 19" wheel. Of course all depending on what tire I get.

Almost makes me want to pull the trigger on these when my tires are done.  http://www.ebay.com/itm/361063560216?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Yep, 19" wheels suck.  No idea why manufactures have them as an option.  Keep it 18" or 20".

I find 18 and 20" tires alot cheaper because they are most commonly used on todays vehicles,luckily our cars dont call for those odd 17 and 19" tires which are considerably much more.Z
