Tires Firestone or SUMITOMO

I got Sumitomo HTR A/S P03 tires put on my car last October. I live in Wisconsin and am frequently in NW Wisconsin/MN/SD. They were great for me last winter and are pretty quiet during the summer and solid in the rain. I’ve put over 25k miles on them in a year and still no complaints and limited wear. They were a middle-lower cost option when I bought them on Tire Rack and installed for free at Discount Tire. I’ll probably buy them again. I’ve heard they’re a little soft and wear fast though? That’s not been my experience yet but just what I’ve read.

I have done both FireHawk and G Max and been impressed with comfort. Way better than the OEM continentals that it came with, and much cheaper than Michelin.

I had the Firehawk Indy 500 from Firestone on, and they we're great. Lot's of grip going around corners and still felt very secure during heavy rain. I paid around 900 for a set of four on my 18 inch wheels.

Firestone fire hawks. But the ride is perfect and so is the handling with those tires, for me at least. I have continentals currently, and I much prefer the Firehawks.

Indie Firehawk 500s. I love them. Nice summer tire.

I have the Sumitomo Encounter AT's on my frontier. Good reasonably priced tire.

I went with a set of Firestone Destination AT/2's, and the road feel is great. Tight steering and great performance on bad roads/snow.

Airing up tires would be about the only thing I'd trust Firestone with and it would have to be free to even trust them that much.

These are the worst tires I've ever used. At 8000 miles they needed to be replaced. All four tires had even wear they're not worth the price that Firestone charges for them.

Do NOT buy Firestone Tigerpaws. Under the blue white wall protection is a 1" "whitewall" that the carbon in the rubber penetrates right thru. They are tobacco brown in just a few days. Garbage product.
