Best Tires for Ford Edge

Published by Rims & Tires

Compiled & checked by the site's publisher from manufacturer, NHTSA & USTMA data · Updated 2026-07-24

The Ford Edge is a practical mid-size crossover that competes with the Nissan Murano and Chevy Blazer. The ST trim adds significant performance tuning — tire selection should differ from standard trims.

Common Ford Edge tire sizes

2nd gen Edge (2015-2024 — Ford ended Edge production in April 2024): 245/60R18 (SE, SEL), 245/55R19 (SE, Titanium option), 245/50R20 (Titanium, ST, ST-Line), with 265/40R21 on the ST's optional 21-inch wheels.

Older Edge trims used 235/65R17 or 245/60R18 on earlier model years.

The 245/60R18 is the most common size for standard trims — a well-stocked mid-size crossover size.

Best tires — standard Edge (SE, SEL, Titanium)

Michelin CrossClimate2 in 245/60R18: the best upgrade for standard Edge owners. Wet safety, 3PMSF all-year capability, and long tread life.

Continental CrossContact LX25: wet performance leader with low rolling resistance — meaningful for the Edge's mass.

Michelin Defender LTX M/S: for high-mileage Edge owners who want the longest tread life on their AWD system.

Best tires — Edge ST (245/50R20)

Continental ExtremeContact DWS06+ in 245/50R20: the top choice for Edge ST owners. The ST has the 2.7L EcoBoost V6 and performance tuning — a true performance all-season matches that intent.

Michelin CrossClimate2 in 245/50R20: for ST owners who want all-weather confidence over pure performance.

Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season Plus II: an alternative premium option for ST owners wanting a refined European tire character.

Frequently asked

How much do Ford Edge tires cost?

245/60R18: $125–170 per tire. 245/50R20 (ST): $145–200 per tire. A set of four installed (245/60R18): $500–680.

How do I know when my Ford Edge needs new tires?

Run the penny test across the tread. If the top of Lincoln's head shows, you're at or below the legal limit. Also pay attention to wet-weather traction, vibration, and any tire that keeps losing air. On a heavier crossover like the Edge, worn tires stretch out your stopping distance more than you'd expect.

Should I replace all four tires on my Edge at once?

If your Edge is AWD, replacing all four together keeps tread depth even and protects the driveline. On a front-wheel-drive Edge you can do pairs, with the newer tires going on the back. A shop can measure tread and tell you whether two will get you by safely.

Do I need all-terrain tires on my Edge?

For nearly all Edge owners, no. It's built for pavement, and a strong all-season covers wet roads, gravel, and the occasional dirt road around West Georgia without the noise penalty of an A/T. All-terrains only make sense if you genuinely spend time off the paved road.

Where can I get tires installed near me in West Georgia?

We match you with trusted independent tire shops around Carrollton and the wider West Georgia area, the ones that stock common Edge sizes and won't upsell you on tires you don't need. Tell us your trim and we'll point you to a shop that can get the right fitment installed.
