Nice find!  I love the price, but wonder if an SUV tire is a good choice?  Thoughts?

Granted, my S weighs as much as an SUV.  I just don't drive it like one.

The above mentioned tires are probably better suited for an X-Sport but may also fit many applications including the MKS,the Ventus Evo 12 are similar to these and both are zr rated tire and IMO are awesome summer tires that provide great traction,think they have a 100.00 rebate going on at the moment,[click on the chat.]for any questions you may have.  Z     https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Hankook&tireModel=Ventus+V12+evo2&partnum=545YR0K120XL&vehicleSearch=true&fromCompare1=yes&autoMake=Ford&autoYear=2013&autoModel=Taurus&autoModClar=SHO

I used this tire when I first installed new rims. Tires were fine. But I only got roughly 12000 miles on them. I replaced them with Firestones. Have longer warranty and I have always gotten great performance from Firestone tires. You can see where I installed by clicking link in signature.

This is tire I had

They ARE summer tires, so life expectancy should be in perspective.  Reviews of similar tires:

Performance seems to be fine, but expect no more than 15K miles before needing replacement.  At the price point, a pretty good deal!

I think the suv tire label comes from the size. 255/45/20 is popular in the mid size lineup.
It's the size I'm currently using on my SHO, so it does fit
