Tire Size? by good_hands

Anybody know how much "bigger/wider, etc" the tires can be on the edge? I have the SEL Plus (245/60/18). Not too concerned about going larger than 18, but wider would help the handling.

Might want to call your local Ford dealer, or a reputable tire shop in your area...Dunno if I'll like these OEM Hankook tires - haven't heard/read anything really "good" about this brand...In a few years they'll probably be replaced with some Goodyears, or Michelins

The best info I have found is here:
 
http://www.1010tires.com/TireSizeCalculator.asp?submit=yes&vehicle=yes
 
This allows you to see how different sizes will affect the vehicle.
 
The largest I would put on the stock 8" rim is 255/55/18. This would be less than 2% error on the speedo and safe tire on the rim...

SNOW CABLES ON AWD 18" WHEELS by andsedge

Does anyone have any info regarding why cables can be used on 17" wheels but not on 18" wheels on the 2007 AWD Edge? We'd like to carry them in case we get into severe conditions but the glove box manual says we can't use them on the 18's.

There is not enough clearance . The chains or cables may hit the inside of the wheel wells.

20" vs. 18" -- which is better for 08 Edge? by dgp13

We're looking hard at an 08 Edge and have driven the Limited with 20" tires. Feels good to me, but I am not a tire expert by any means. What is the value in getting 20" tires (Pirelli, in this case) vs 18", and further, what are my options in case I'd like the dealership to provide another brand tire vs the ones on the vehicle now?

The 20's will ride a bit harsher and usually cost more to replace than 18's. Otherwise it's strictly looks. You'd have to negotiate any tire or wheel swaps with the dealer - depends entirely on what they have in stock and what they're willing to do. But I doubt there are a lot of tire choices in the 20" size.
