I had bought the Ford 9000 a little before that mission and I used it to take the trailer to the oil rig thinking "I'll get like half way there before getting stuck or flipping". I only had all terrain tires and the best engine. Suspension and transmission stock but she handled it beautifully.
I’ve done tires, tint, rust proofing (fluid film), dash cam, tailgate assist, and a few other minor things I may be forgetting.
Shockingly fantastic in winter slop. I was expecting them to be bad compared to my Sumitomos. Nope. Even better in slop. 100% recommended. Great in the dry with very low noise and super highway tracking. Finally found the grail of cheap and awesome.
Sumitomo is a fantastic tire. I run their summer tires all year around ( In Texas, heavy sedan ) very stable at 85 mph+, quiet and stay planted.
Sumitomo tires wildly out perform their price tag. Have had them on a bunch of cars over the years and have never been unhappy about it.
I personally have sumitomo and I really like them. Good traction. Good for regular road driving or mountain driving and all weather. A little bit pricier, but I feel the quality is worth it.
Previously, Sumitomo P03 that I got rid of at 35k because LOUD. Otherwise durable and great in snow. A little unsettled at speed.
Depends on what your tires are and size. If you don't wana wreck leave traction control and such on. Of course around turns you can still wreck. And rwd cars around turns that are wet etc are easy for the rear and to let go
This Tire Brand Has The Lowest Customer Satisfaction Rating, according to Consumer Reports
I do have the exact same size on my 2019 Ford Taurus Limited. Can't remember exactly when I put them on without looking for the tire receipt, but I don't think they're anything special. They wear fast, & to me they're loud. Actually looking for some new tires too. But I know I won't be getting these again.
