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.

Pros: great in winter, quiet, solid in rain, limited wear
Cons: rumored soft, fast wear
Vehicle: Mazda 6
Mileage: 25000 km

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

Pros: extremely happy, much grippier, comfortable ride
Cons: efficiency loss, doubtful longevity
Mileage: 40000 km

For $70 I can buy Japanese made Sumitomos which have perfectly adequate grip in most conditions and long life, but they are quite loud due to the aggressive tread.

Pros: adequate grip, long life
Cons: quite loud
Vehicle: Honda

Sumitomo HTR A/S P01. I tried them on two different vehicles and they were downright dangerous in the wet and snow, even when brand new.

Cons: dangerous in wet, snow
