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

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

Yeah, they're alright. Brother had a set on his 2016 Fiesta and didn't have much ill to say. He reckoned they were noisier than the original Goodyear's that came with the car but was happy with the traction.

Pros: happy with the traction
Cons: noisier than original
Vehicle: Ford Fiesta

1600 miles on my car. Daughter drove down a road being repaired and apparently some of the rough road gouged the inner sidewall of the left rear. The construction is just a mile away. She arrived home and I received a low tire alert. An hour later tire was completely flat at 6 psi. The tire was peeled back in three places. Self sealing did nothing.

Cons: self sealing did nothing
Mileage: 2575 km

SUMITOMO Tires

The only tire brand I never liked was Sumitomo. They were always much narrower than spec and seemed to loose grip when you needed it most.

Cons: narrower than spec, loose grip
