I got the Altimaxes on my older Escape, and have been very happy with them. Quieter and better handling than the Coopers they replaced.
Best Tires for Ford Escape
Firestone Weathergrips are great tires. I had them on a 2011 Escape before it got hit by a retard. They handled an Alberta winter no problem, however my studded winters were obviously still better.
the new set of Nokian Hakkapeliitta winter tires turned it into quite the beast in the snow and ice. I'm usually on the roads early before the plow and haven't gotten stuck or felt I couldn't continue because of the conditions.
I have Cross Climates on my CX 5 and
Falken Wildpeaks on Crosstrek,General Altimax on my Ford Escape and Goodyear Workhorse on my truck.
I had Defenders on my 2010 Escape. Loved them and they were so quiet rolling down the road.
6months and 15k miles into a set of these on a ford escape. They're quiet and wearing well so far. Not as quiet as Goodyear which is the same price but still a quiet tire.
I had a set of Continentals do the same thing on my wife’s gently driven Escape. I am religious about tire pressure, and they otherwise wore evenly.
I heard Kumho don't last very long, but are good for the first 10,000 miles and not good at all by 30,000 miles.
I put CC2 on my escape hybrid same exact size as original and took a 8mpg hit in mileage from day one. Over 10k miles now and no change
Th Michelins that came on my wife's '12 Escape hadvcracked sidewalls. There was an issue with some Michelins back then. Her tire model was in the recall, but not her size.
