Tires Firestone or SUMITOMO

Firestone winterforce 2 tires are great with snow, and drive somewhat close to a regular tire in the cold too.

I've just got some Firestone all-season tires on mine. Nothing fancy. They did *surprisingly* well in a half-foot of snow.

Sumitomo HTR A/S PO3s have been able to handle anything that comes our way.

I drive Firestone Firehawk Sport on my e53 amg, it’s really good tires, is it better then Michelin? No, but for the money it’s pretty good and does job well, never had an oversteer or understeer keeps to road really well.

We wore out the OEMs at 40k and picked up a set of Sumitomo P03 tires. Extremely happy with them. They're not strictly EV tires so there's some efficiency loss (maybe 5-10%?) but the car is much grippier, especially in wet and slushy conditions. Also, it's just way more comfortable of a ride. Kind of doubt they'll last through the manufacturer warranty of 50k miles but also it was just under $100/tire installed at DiscountTire so I'm not terribly concerned

I replaced the garbage Bridgestone OEMs on my 2020 Jetta S manual with Firestone all weather at 29250 miles.I am totally pleased with them they are quiet and ride and handle nice and good in the rain.

Falken also makes several tires in that size. Falken are made by Sumitomo and excellent. My Sumitomos last at least 60k and are about $95-120.

Just got these on my wife's cx5 and yeah they didn't feel much better than the blizzaks we just removed. Then she texted over the weekend to say they're the loudest tires she's ever had and the road noise is terrible.

These tires are terrible. I’m in MA and they struggle in light snow. Mine only have 32k miles but I’m replacing them asap because they are actually dangerously bad, even in 4WD
