ISO Tires for my 2022 Edge Titanium

[Fishingandfordenthusiast]

I am looking to replace my tires on my 2022 Edge Titanium with the 19" wheels. I am not loving the Hankooks that are the OEM tires. What has everyone else been putting on their Edge Titaniums?

There are so many variations depending on your environment, driving style, miles driven a year, expectations.

 

Personally I am after:

• middle range mileage expectation (40-50k, vehicle gets 10-20 punctures a year, 2 tires they won't repair again)
• summer UHP A/S UHP (desert, with minimal rain, no snow)
• UTQG temperature rating of A (high ambient temps, high speed extended drives in high temps)
• soft enough to not squeal/squeak at moderate throttle off the line across painted lines
• quiet (my 2019 is a tin can, not even the wool fender liners get rid of road noise)
• reasonable performance (it isn't a sports car, but it needs to handle some spirited cornering and braking)
• optionally a dope looking symmetrical tread
• price point (rebate of some sort is a bonus)

I am looking at Sumitomo HTR A/S P03 or Toyo Proxes ST III

 

My current tires have 51,000 miles on them, generally at 3 to 4/64s left (barely more than the wear bar). The dealership had them installed before I bought it, Kelly Edge A/S (55k tread life warranty), and I don't recommend.

I went with the Sumitomo HTR A/S P03 for my 2019 SEL (18 inch wheels). As much price point as Tirerack reviews. A couple others had rebates that would make them cheaper.

 

90% of its duty is driving 6 miles to work twice a day, in a high ambient temperature location, by a non performance oriented driver.

 

10% of the time it is on 400-1000 mile vacation drives around the desert and up to the mountains, sometimes during winter time.

 

These are treadwear 640, traction and temp A rated, 65,000 mile warranty. They were built 16 months ago (0624 date). They are asymmetrical so I can cross rotate them. Made in Japan. m&s rated, UHP All Season (I tend to run UHP Summer), probably not as quiet as more touring rated tires.

 

I got 53,000 miles out of the Edge A/S tires (rated at 55,000) in 2 years and 5 months (average 1800 miles a month), the tire shop asked me if I wanted to keep them (which they probably had more tread than imagined, even measuring them with a gauge), but they were noisy, prone to hydroplaning, and never really good tires, even new.

 

I will update it once I get some interstate miles on them this weekend, and some around town more spirited driving.
