NO ONE, especially the dealer I bought my used '06 FEH from, told me my truck should have LRR tires. So far I've identified 6 LRR tires for my truck:

1) General Grabber HTS,
2) Michelin Latitude Tours,
3) Goodyear Assurance CS Fuel Max ,
4) Bridgestone Dueler H/L 422 Ecopia,
5) CrossContact LX20 with EcoPlus Technology, and
6) Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season.

Of these, which ones would you guys recommend? I'm looking for all-season tires that get the best fuel efficiency. I'll be doing a long road trip with my children soon so I want to be safe.

#2 - I chose them because they are what Ford put on the newer Escapes. Just my opinion.

 

I replaced with #5. Much better traction in wet and snow than original tires..

 

Lol, read the thread title. The OP is in Miami...snow performance is probably not a major issue.

 

I said WET and snow. Doesn't it rain in Miami?

 

Actually Travelover, I'll be moving to Omaha soon (my hometown), so your info is relevant. I too ended up buying the Michelin Latitude Tours. I found them on discount on Sears' website and couldn't say no - $600 all-in.

HOWEVER, I was just at the Ford dealer, and the service manager was showing me a 2010 FEH with Michelin Latitude Tours with CRACKED tires. Keep an eye on this as he tells me that Michelin is well known for cracking. I'm wondering who I should make aware of this ahead of the fact? The cracking happens just above the rim about 2-3 inches in.

 

So it's been a couple of months. Have you noticed any cracking or heard anything else related to this issue? I was kind of leaning toward the Michelin's or the Duelers. I'm at 62K in my 08 FEH and contemplating a new set soon. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks guys.
