On my work vehicle ( 2011 Ford Escape AWD) studded Nokians.
Reviews of spare parts for Ford Escape
I’m using Motorcraft pads because I wanted the same pad formulation that the regenerative system is calibrated for, plus the original pads seemed to have very little dust.
We have had winter specific tires on vehicles from 4x4 big pickups to the VW rabbits. Have use Michelin X-ice, Blizzaks, Winterforce studded and Nokian Hakka's, both studded and unstudded. Would not go through a winter without the Nokians. Last winter the big 4x4 truck ran Nokian Rotiiva's and they worked but not as well as winter specific tires. Wife's Ford Escape - Nokian Hakka's non-studded. A great ride. Good traction and road feel, snow and ice as well as base clear pavement.
I run TT rotors with Boxster calipers. I like this setup very much. Brake pedal is a little firmer than stock and they are easy to modulate on the street.
I had the same issue with the oem windshield on my wife's 2014 Ford Escape. From the drivers side the blurr was so bad it made my head hurt.
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.
