  1. You need a T155/70R18 sized tire, a wheel (KT4Z1015A) which is sized 18" x 4", 5 Lug, 4.25" Bolt Pattern, and the jack with components. From the attached diagram, you only need the jack, mounting stud, wing nut and wrench so that it is secured in the well. The mini spare became an option around the 2021 model year. For some reason, Ford included the mini spare with some new Edges, but charged $100 (see the attached window sticker.) It was not included at all on others. I would search your local salvage yards for these items. Be careful that you find the 18-inch tire and wheel, not the 17-inch combination. Since the model refresh in 2015, these items have remained the same, so there should be plenty of availability. windowsticker.pdf
  2. I am old fashioned. I know manufacturing techniques are better today, but when I bought my Edge straight from the dealer, I had the engine oil changed at 1,000 miles and the transmission fluid completely flushed at 15,000 miles (my Edge is not AWD so no differential or I would have also changed it early.)
  3. There are thousands of listings for S154D Rear-End Differentials on ebay. Most are remanufactured in China.
  4. You are kidding - The Peanut Butter Conspiracy? According to Wikipedia, the Peanut Butter Conspiracy was an American, Los Angeles-based, psychedelic pop/rock group from the 1960s. The band is known for lead singer Barbara Robison and for briefly having Spencer Dryden of Jefferson Airplane as a band member. The album's producer brought in studio musicians including Glen Campbell (yes that Glen Campbell) to bolster the group's sound.
  5. Were you listing to Boss Radio (Rock and Roll) in the 60's? Here in Los Angeles, the only music on AM radio today is from stations broadcasting in foreign languages. Some manufacturers (especially in electric vehicles) no longer include AM radio. Here is an explanation why AM radio does not sound as good in your Edge versus your Mustang: Proliferation of LED lights, switching power supplies, electric vehicles, broadband over power lines, and compact electronics has raised the AM noise floor substantially in many urban and suburban areas, reducing usable coverage and intelligibility.
  6. I know this will seem snarky and I apologize. Is the difference in weight between a steel and aluminum spare tire wheel at the most be 15 pounds? You probably know that Ford made spare tires optional with a charge of $100. I think it became optional on the Edge in 2021. It now comes with a compressor and sealant kit which I am sure weighs even less.
  7. I know I am late to this party, but have you tried to use one of the apps like iheartradio on your phone and connect by Bluetooth using SYNC? Most AM and FM radio stations are streamed live.
  8. If you (or anyone else) is still looking for a 2024 Ford Edge ST, according to a search on cars.com, there are no remaining new vehicles available. I found six 2024 ST-Line, one 2024 Titanium and multiple SEL and SE's.
  9. As an old tire salesman, I beg of you to measure the remaining tread depth on the other three tires. The picture above shows that there is an alignment issue AND the tire is down to the wear bars. You are gambling the life of not only yourself, but your wife and others on the road with tires like this. A tire in this condition would not pass a state inspection. Even the cheapest Chinese tire would be better than continuing to drive if your other tires are also worn out.
  10. Not sure about what you are referring to about the Costco warranty. Costco warranty is 36-month prorated. Walmart is a three-year free replacement.
  11. I have been experiencing this since purchasing my 2020 Edge which was brand new. I have had my batteries and charging system checked and both passed. The other thing that you should be experiencing is the stop start function will not operate. I am not sure what the sweet spot is, but my problem is that I do not drive enough. I have had to buy a Battery Tender to recharge the battery when the door situation occurs. I know that there are two different alternators available for the Edge. There is a 175 amp and 200 amp alternator available. I am not sure if the 200 amp alternator were installed (and I am sure that I have the 175 amp), if it would make any difference.
  12. Using the Tire Size Calculator, the 265 is .2 inches less in diameter and .8 inches wider.
  13. I would think that since you need both the tires and wheels, you should go back to the OEM tire size and wheel, P245/60R18. You should easily be able to find the 18-inch wheels at your local salvage yard. If you want to go with a 17-inch tire and wheel set up, the tire size that has the closest tire height (to reduce speedometer error) while increasing the sidewall size from 5.8 to 6.3 inches is P245/65R17. For your leaking tires, try replacing the valve stems. Some stems are known to leak. Doc1.pdf
  14. Greatest.thing since sliced bread. Just buy it.
  15. I would suggest tires classed as touring or luxury. These tires provide a luxurious ride and since the speed rating is lower than sport tires, the tires will last a lot longer.
