I bought a new Escape and it has Continental Tires.

Asked by conniebreck Apr 30, 2015 at 03:10 PM about the 2015 Ford Escape SE AWD

Question type: General

My new 2015 Escape has Continental Tires. Since when does Ford use those tires. I'm
told they are a very very cheap tire and maybe my dealership switched them? Does
anybody have an Escape with those kind of tires?

Don't know who gave the information af being "Cheap" tires but they probably have not driven a european car. Continentals are used on many high performance cars! They have been in business for decades. When I raced open wheel in the 50-60's, I ran Continentals. They were good for 150mph +. No my friend, they definately not cheap

Yes ford does use these tires but they are the worst tires i have ever seen. My 2007 Escape came with Continental Tires. I changed them for Michelin's ASAP best move i ever made the ride was amazing on the Michelin's.

I had Connies on my 2003 Expedition and I thought they were quite good.
