Thanks Perblue, Going with winter/summer tires might be the best option. Any suggestions for sites to search for the "aftermarket 18" rims and 18' winter grips"? And what particular type of rim do I search for ? I'm considering trading in the 21" wheels for 20". Looks like that is a reasonable option cost wise and opens up more tire options. Maybe I'd find some aftermarket 20" tires. Bad idea ? Thanks

I don't see the DWS06 in 265/40/r21 or 45 even, so I'm not sure they are an option for my existing Wheels On those wheels, I don't see an option beyond the Pirelli Verde PRO (which are supposed to be a step up from the previous Verde) and the Nokian If I was to go with a new set of Wheels, I'd like to have something good looking. I guess that 19" would give me a wider selection of both reconditioned Wheels and new Tire selection Anyone have any feed back on the Pirelli Verde PRO in New England winter conditions? Thanks and for the feedback, much appreciated John

I've got the 2015 Edge Sport with 21" Wheels and Pirelli Scorpion All Season tires. They are terrible in the snow. I live in New England and go north a few times a year. I need new tires. But my 21" options are few. Pirelli Scorpion All Season Plus is an option, but I'm reading good (Consumer Reports) but also bad reviews. My tire guy recommend Nokian WR G3 SUV tires, which look great in the winter, but again it only snows a few months a year around here. I'm wondering if these 21" wheels are the way to go. Maybe I should just look into 20 or 19" wheels. I'm assuming my tire options would be larger. And while the 21s look great they are prone to curb damage. BTW, my wheels have road rash, I want to get them buffed up. Could do a simple repair. But the pros want $225 a wheel. Thoughts ? Thanks John

thanks, good ideas ...

Hi My 2008 Edge has had an issue for several years where the transmission "slips", even "bangs" on occasion. Seems to happen more often with acceleration. The dealer has told me there are no issues or computer reported problems. I've done a transmission flush @ 80K, it has 140K on it now and I'm hoping to get another year or two out of it. Anyone else having these "slips"? Thinking of doing another flush as an insurance policy. Thanks
