Tires SUMITOMO or OEM FORD

My maintenance has been a new set of tires, new wiper blades, gallons of wiper fluid.

Wind. I see it all the time here in the Southwest. Washboard road patterns emerge like sand dune shifts in the Sahara. Couple that with constant movement from tires on vehicles, it makes it worse.

I got about 30k miles on sumitomos 285/75/16 snow rated, AT. They’ve been solid

I got sumitomo on mine. Quite. Great on all things wet including light snow.

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.

I have the Sumitomo Encounter AT's on my frontier. Good reasonably priced tire.

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

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.

These tires are too tall. There's a headlight bracket that doesn't touch normally, but if you're turning and the suspension compresses, whether from a bump or cornering, then you will get these gashes in the shoulder of your tire.

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.
