Tires Uniroyal or SUMITOMO

We have a base model with no snow mode, but I've had a set of Uniroyal Tiger Paw "Ice & Snow 3"'s on for the last few Winters, and they performed pretty well. I never felt unsafe, even driving through some pretty sketchy stuff.

I ended up getting an Uniroyal summer tire for it as it was considerably cheaper than the Conti. Anyway, from tests I gathered that it is supposed to be top tier in wet condition and mid at best in dry. I have used for over a year now as my situation changed and ended up keeping the Corolla for the time being. I used it around 15k km so far in wide variety conditions, from 0 Celsius up to 40 and so far have zero issues. There is no sign of wear and tear, thread is still deep, no dry rot and driving never felt unsafe or had any other issues.

sumitomo is significantly better than any no name Chinese tire

I had sumitomo ASPO3 on my Honda Accord and they were honestly really good tires The asymmetrical tread pattern did very well in the wet and light to moderate snow, I would purchase them again.

I’ve had these tires on my Subaru for the past five years and they’ve been great. 60k on them and still some life left.

The Tiger Paw is still one of the best designed SUV/Truck tires made, and it's been around for a long, long time. I run them on my SUVs. Love 'em.

Uniroyal has never let me down. Plus, it's the only brand that you can still get whitewalls from without specially ordering them, so, bonus

I daily drive with the Sumitomos they are alright in the dry but I do find they aren't as good in the wet. They do feel pretty predictable when driving hard and the tire wear isn't too bad.

Had Uniroyal tiger paws on my s10 - worst handling tires ive had on snow. Wore like rocks tho.

I have these tires on my daily from the previous owner, and though they last quite well they are absolutely awful in every other respect. Multiple times Iv lost traction under normal braking, have a difficult time in light snow, and it has the lateral grip of a 75 year old grandmother.
