Kelly Edge Touring A/S

The Kelly Edge Touring A/S is a solid choice for drivers who prioritize dry grip and comfort in a touring all-season tire. Its dry grip score of 8.5 outpaces the category average, making it a reliable performer on dry roads. The tire also offers a 65,000-mile treadwear warranty, aligning well with the average for the segment, which suggests decent longevity. However, the Edge Touring A/S falls short in wet conditions, with a wet grip score of 5.5 that lags behind the category average of 6.9. This could be a drawback for drivers in areas with regular rainfall. Additionally, the absence of a 3PMSF rating means it's not the best option for light snow, unlike some competitors that offer more versatile performance. When compared to its competitors, the BFGoodrich Advantage Control provides better wet grip, which may be more suitable for those dealing with wet climates. Meanwhile, the Continental ProContact TX offers a more balanced performance across different conditions. If wet grip is a priority, consider these alternatives. Overall, the Edge Touring A/S is best for budget-conscious drivers who primarily drive in dry conditions and value comfort. Those needing better wet performance should look at other options like the BFGoodrich Advantage Control instead.
