Rating 4.5

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

DEXTER Tires

I went from Falken Wildpeak AT Trail to these DAT 1’s. Look very similar. My rears were $91. My fronts not on sale will be $102. The Wildpeaks in 2020 were $126, now $215. So cheap shit for me it is! But they look good and get me to work.

Pros: look good
Cons: cheap

Ive had a set of 245/65/17's on the rear of my Dakota for about 4 to 5 years now. They are decent for a budget tire but don't expect them to be on par with the likes of Goodyear, BF, etc.. In my experience, there down fall is mileage. Mine have worn even and ride nice, dry traction is very good & wet traction can be questionable.

Pros: dry traction is good
Cons: mileage is a downfall
Mileage: 20000 km

I learned this for myself a long time ago when I had decided to go cheap for once and get some Sumitomo. I could feel the car's handling characteristics changed immediately (it felt like the back was "gliding" in the turns leaving the parking lot, which was probably sidewall flex).

Cons: handling characteristics changed
