Kelly Edge A/S Overall Assessment
Vehicles that can use Kelly Edge A/S
Budget friendly tires have come a long way from there nasty, under performing predecessors. It is now possible to get a really solid performing tire for a relatively inexpensive price. The Kelly Edge A/S is a great example of this.
Kelly operates under the Goodyear umbrella and with this comes the benefits in being involved with a historical tire juggernaut. Kelly has been able to position itself in the market smartly on the back of the work done by their trusted big brother.
What we loved about the Kelly Edge A/S is its traction in dry and wet conditions. The tire sticks to the road well in addition to the ride being decently comfortable. The handling and braking are also solid and in general, they instil a level of confidence behind the wheel that is usually associated with more expensive tires.
There are a few shortcomings to note about the Edge A/S. As this is a basic all season and not a dedicated snow tire, it does suffer in snowy conditions that are any more severe than light. The ride is a little flimsy and soft, but this can be expected from tires which are priced as low as these.
Overall, the Kelly Edge A/S is a reliable tire for everyday use that will get the job done and won’t break the bank.
Pros:
- Traction in the dry and wet
- Solid handling and braking
- Tread life appears to be decent
- Budget price
Cons:

Kelly Edge A/S Customer Review
Sharon says: “I really like these tires and have had no issues thus far. I bought them in the Spring and they have been good value, especially considering the price. They beat the more expensive Cooper tires I had on my vehicle.”
Sharon posted (4 / 5) review
Hayden says: “I am very happy with the tires dry and wet traction and the performance in general has been good! I love in Washington and have these on my 2004 Subaru Forester. I have driven mountain passes through rain and snow and have had no issues. I felt confident on the road and I would recommend these tires. They are cheap and very cheerful!”
