Kelly Edge HT

The Kelly Edge HT is a solid choice for budget-conscious truck owners who prioritize treadlife and dry performance. Its perfect treadlife score and 50,000-mile warranty indicate longevity, though this falls short of the category's average warranty length. The tire performs well on dry roads, with a dry grip and handling score of 7.5, which is slightly below the category average but still competitive. However, wet grip is a weak point for the Edge HT, with a score of 5, trailing the category average of 6.1. This could be a concern for drivers in wet climates. Additionally, the R speed rating limits its high-speed capabilities compared to some rivals. The Firestone Destination LE3, for example, offers a longer warranty and potentially better wet performance, making it a stronger contender for those who drive extensively in varying conditions. If you need a tire that excels in dry conditions and offers good value for the money, the Edge HT is worth considering. However, if wet traction and higher speed handling are priorities, you might want to look at options like the Firestone Destination LE3 or the Hankook Dynapro HT RH12 instead.
