After only 26k miles, the stock Michelins literally dry rotted off the car rather than getting truely worn out. It killed me to buy new tires, but had to. Stock Michelins were so far gone that they had slow leaks.
I ended up with stock size Toyo Proxes 4 Plus and could not be happier.

Unfortunately, the Michelins that were OEM with the SHO have had less than a stellar reputation attached to them.  Severe sidewall cracking is a commonly noted complaint.  Good luck with the Toyo's :thumb:
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!
