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

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.

Pros: excellent, last at least 60k
Mileage: 60000 km

Barum Tires

Pana acum nu am avut deloc probleme chiar si in conditii mai speciale. Mereu cand au fost conditii de vreme mai dificile am adaptat viteza incat sa conduc in siguranta.

Pros: nu am avut probleme

Barum Tires

Barum Polaris 6. Au fost foarte bine cotate inclusiv versiunile anterioare (eu am folosit Polaris 3) in cateva clasamente din anii anteriori, fiind deseori in primele 5 locuri umar la umar cu marcile premium.

Pros: foarte bine cotate

I ran sumitomo htr z5 for a few years and liked them a lot (summer/perf). Currently on vredestein quattrac pro which is more of an all season sport touring, and meh, I like them and they're great at what they are but I miss having performance tires in the summer.

Pros: liked them a lot
Cons: miss performance tires
Vehicle: Volkswagen

I daily drive with the Sumitomos they are alright in the dry but I do find they aren't as good in the wet. They do feel pretty predictable when driving hard and the tire wear isn't too bad.

Pros: predictable when driving hard
Cons: not good in wet

Had them in 245/45r18. Really comfortable, fuel efficient, good grip but average feedback. I was really happy with them until i had to do an emergency brake and the car just kept going. Afterwards I went and read tyre tests and all tests confirmed that their braking is horrible both in dry and wet.

They are dangerous in emergency situations

Pros: comfortable, fuel efficient, good grip
Cons: horrible braking, dangerous

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
