Need tires

Sam06
My wife's Ford Edge needs some new tires.  I have narrowed it down to 2 brands:
Michelin Premier LTX
Pirelli Scorpion Verde all season

I am familiar with Michelin tires but I have never has a set of Perelli's and I am leaning toward them. 

Thoughts?

    Pirelli's are nice, but the rubber is a really soft compound.  Like real soft.
    The wife's Audi would eat them up like candy.  Barely got 6 months out of them.
    This has been my experience with Pirelli's as well.  Forget what care they were on.  The traction was great, but they wore out in a hurry.

    You can look at the tread life on websites and determine what is best. Had Pirelli's on a vehicle and they wore like iron.

    Go Michelin, I had Pirellis on my Expedition and when it can time to replace I went with Michelins. The Michelins are lasting longer, ride better and less road noise.

    Michelin all day over Pirelli. Michelin’s were also the easiest to patch when I worked at a gas station repairing holes in tires. Also highly recommended Toyo

    Long time ago, had Pirelli P44's on my Subaru Brat. They were Awesome!

    Currently on my 4X4 I have BF Goodrich Mud/Terrain. (Forget the model #.) Voted best 4X4 accesory of the year, when they were introduced.

    I was looking at reviews on the Tire Rack and the Pirelli's have a better review on tread wear.

    For overall performance in wet and dry and fantastic milage go the premier ltx Michelin's, replaced the Hankooks on my 2008 edge at 32,000, sold the car with 110,000 miles and the Michelin's were still probably good for another 20,000 mi..
    I replaced the Oem Pirellis on my 2015 Explorer Sport at 30,000 mi. and replaced with Michelin's premier ltx, right now 80,000 on the clock so  50,000 miles on them and looking forward to at least another 25,000 mi. Great tires, not cheap, but, in this case you do get what you pay for.

    The difference in price is about $25 a tire so call it $100 for the car, the LTX's are more expensive. 

    Thanks TANK for the review on the LTX's

    and thanks to all the others that replied.

    It's just killin' me....  I have a great joke about an Italian brand of tires and I would probably get, if not banned, then at least a stern admonishment if I told it.  Biting tongue...

    Another vote for Michelins. We have them on our SUV and love them. They wear great and get around good on the snow,quiet on the highway. For my pickup, BFG AT's.

    Either you buy Michelin or you wish you had. That Camry deserves the very best. Those 16 screws you used to reattach the bumper cover are stainless self tappers right?? So why compromise with the tires??

    Michelins and BFGs come out of the same factory in upstate SC.I have better luck with Michelins,but I did run a set of Uniroyal Tiger Paws  110,000 miles  on my Nissan pick up.The Uniroyals lasted longer but they seemed to ride rougher the older they got.

     I put Michelin Defenders on my Toyota Highlander a while back. Rotated them at 5k and 10k. At the 10k, the service guy measured the wear, and I had used exactly 1/32". If that rate continues, they're 100k+ tires. They are also very quiet with great traction.

    Get her four Michelin Defenders, and then you can say "That takes care of your next Mother's Day, birthday, Christmas, and Valentines."

    I hate tire shopping.  Expensive, so many choices, very different one tire to another, to get this feature you gotta give up another,,,,good luck.

    Looked all over and Walmart had the best deal.  I bought them online, they will be delivered to my house and I will take the car and tires to a Mexican used tire place and they will mount and balance them for $50 cash.  They will keep the old tires and sell them(2 are good).

    I got the Michelins
