Tires SUMITOMO or Laufenn

SUMITOMO Tires

I went from Sumitomo HTR Z2 tires to Michelin Pilot Super Sport and was left very disappointed in the Michelins. Initial turn in suffered (slight delay from steering input to vehicle changing direction). The Michelins are like sticky gummy bears, the Sumitomos had much stiffer side walls and that made driving far more enjoyable even though they were less sticky.

Pros: stiffer side walls
Cons: less sticky

I went with Solar 4XS+ available from Walmart. They are manufactured by Sumitomo tires. These came in really cheap at $350 for all 4 tires including lifetime balance and rotation and road hazard warranty at Walmart. These are 89 H rated, so a bit soft which cut down the road noise a lot compared to my previous Bridgestone Ecopia. Efficiency is the same as the Ecopias at 4.3 mi/kwh but they ride smooth and quiet.

Pros: smooth and quiet ride
Cons: bit soft
Mileage: 3000 km

I currently use these tires. They're rated to last 60,000 miles but I don't think they lasted more than 30,000 or 2 years for me.

Cons: short lifespan
Mileage: 48280 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

I've had the sumitomos before. they were ok, quieter but not very grippy. They looked awesome though. They also sucked when it was cold ( turned into bricks and thumped until they warmed up )

Pros: quieter, looked awesome
Cons: not very grippy, bad cold
