Tires SUMITOMO or DEBICA

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

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

Zic din experienta personala: niste cauciucuri de iarna Debica vs Michellin CrossClimate 2, prefer Debica de iarna.

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.

Man, eu am avut debica all season pe prima mea masina, la 200 de lei bucata, nu exista diferenta de zgomot (pe un golf 4 ofc), nu alunecau si franau corespunzator.

Am cumăpărat de 2 ori de la ei. Au venit cu Dot-ul afișat și în timp ok. Fără probleme. Eu am luat de la ei anvelopele Debica Navigator 3 195/55 R16 87H.

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.

Reviews say its major shortcoming is that it generates a lot of loud noise.

Im a tech who has installed these (customer requested) and had them on one of my cars a few years ago. The only good points about them were the tread wear and the affordable cost. They have a VERY hard compound which means they lose traction easy. I was told by a customer, as well as my experience, that they spun very easily on wet surfaces and were terrible in the snow. They were also noisy at highway speeds. I do NOT recommend them and dont sell them unless requested.

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.
