  1. I bit the bullet and got an entire new set of tires. Michelin Cross Climate 2. I'm really fussy about tires and was bothered about the mismatch. I am retired and drive only about 4,000 miles/year. These should last a really long time.
  2. I'm jealous you have cd players.
  3. Thanks for all the information. I found that the Hankook's have worn very little in the 6700 miles I've driven, so the overall diameter I found on Tirerack's spec sheets is still pretty much it. The Hankook is 29.5", the Bridgstone 29.7". I was concerned about the Bridgestone's B B UTOG rating, but in Tirerack's test they don't mention it. I think I will stick with this for now, but in June when it's time to put the mismatch on the front, I will replace the Bridgestone.
  4. By diameter I meant the height of the tire, top to bottom. The new tire is a match in that respect. I did measure the tread depth and took that in to account. The tire dealer sold me the symmetric tire, the Edge came with asymmetrical tires. My concern is having the mismatch on the front. I'm afraid it will affect the handling. I have until June, when I get my annual servicing (I only do about 4,000 miles/year).
  5. I have a 2024 Titanium, it came with the Hankook Ventus S1 noble2 in 245-50/20. A couple of months ago I had a flat in the left rear. I took it to a local Firestone, where they told me it was too near the sidewall and couldn't be repaired. They sold me a Bridgestone Turanza Everdrive, about $300 installed. I checked the diameter of the new versus the originals and they are almost the same. I only have about 6700 miles on the car, so replacing all 4 was not really an option. My concern is the difference in tread design. The Hankook's are asymmetrical, the Bridgestone not. Right now on the rear axle I'm not noticing any problems. My concern is at the next rotation this mismatch will be on the front. Any opinions on whether it's safe to go with this, or should I bite the bullet and replace the Bridgestone? Thanks.
  6. This happened to me. Cycle through the different positions on the headlight switch and see if that restores the function.
  7. I'm glad you asked. I just went out and checked the lights in all positions of the headlamp switch. The outer part was on when the headlamps were on and when only parking lamps were on. I then did a remote start, and now both sides are on. Somehow, cycling through the switch positions seemed to clear the problem. I hope it lasts. Thanks.
  8. This is what I get when I remote start the car. Does anyone know if this can be repaired, or is a new headlight the only solution? It's a 2024, so it's under warranty. New headlamp is $1600!
  9. I've had a similar problem in my 2024 Titanium. Upon starting, it will read 10-15 degrees hotter than it really is, then over about 5 minutes settles down to the real temperature. This causes the A/C to come on when it's not needed. It happened last night, it was about 59 degrees, temp read 73, so the A/C came on. It was at night, so sunshine was not a factor. It almost seems like heat is getting trapped around the sensor, then driving ventilates that area.
  10. Which mud flaps did you get? I see conflicting information on which mud flaps work with the Elite package. I also have the 2024 Titanium Elite.
  11. I guess Ford reversed their decision not to have printed manuals. Good for them.
  12. My 2016 Edge had the paddle shifters, so downshifting was not an issue. I now have a 2024 Titanium that came without paddle shifters. How does one downshift if going down a hill? Is 'S' mode the only option?
  13. I found that by enabling connectivity for navigation, the speed limit now shows on the navigation screen as well.
  14. I had seen that, but it said it is a reproduction. I read the reviews and see it is an authorized repro, so I ordered it. I can return the Helm 2023 manual, unless someone here can use it. Thanks.
