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

Falken also makes several tires in that size. Falken are made by Sumitomo and excellent. My Sumitomos last at least 60k and are about $95-120.

Pros: excellent, last at least 60k
Mileage: 60000 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 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

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
