SUMITOMO Tires

I swear by Sumitomo Ice Edge tires. I've had three sets now on three different vehicles and other than a couple of nights when there was freezing rain, I've never had issues with them

Pros: no issues

I like them, they do great in the gravel, rain and snow but are a summer tire so they dont suck ass most of the time like most All Seasons (aka no seasons). Im on my second set, and will definitely get them again when needed.

Pros: great in gravel, rain, snow
Cons: summer tire
Vehicle: Honda Fit

I'm very happy with my [Sumitomo HTR Z III](https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Sumitomo&tireModel=HTR+Z+III), for an affordable high performance tire. It's not going to last 60k miles, but it was a lot of fun slaying the Tail of the Dragon.

Pros: affordable high performance tire
Cons: not going to last

I have been using the Sumitomo HTR A/S P02s for the last 80k (just go 3rd set on front) as a good compromise in price and quality.

Pros: good price, good quality
Mileage: 128747 km

I have them on my 86. The sidewalls are OK, not great. They do leave something to be desired as far as cornering, as they seem to break loose with little warning.

Pros: sidewalls are OK
Cons: break loose easily, poor cornering

MRF Tires

I have beef with MRF, their compound is so hard it makes it seem like I am on roller skates in a wet skating ring when it’s raining.

Cons: hard compound, slippery when wet

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.

Pros: tread wear, affordable cost
Cons: lose traction easy
