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.
Dunlop enasave EC300 was a lot quieter than my then stock hankook ventus tires.
You'll be fine. They're just not good over thick snow or obviously ice. Just stay in the lane that you see is completely dry. I'm still running mine now, its below 10 here in NY and feels in the negatives. Fine in the snowy roads with just traction semi off. No issues. Only sharp turns the tires give out so go slow with moderate throttle.
Previously, Sumitomo P03 that I got rid of at 35k because LOUD. Otherwise durable and great in snow. A little unsettled at speed.
No, I made the mistake of driving my car around 40 degrees when it was raining, it was scary. Those tires are trash except when it’s dry and higher than 50 degrees
The tires are uncomfortable rocks at any temperature under about 55 degrees, and will actually fail at temperatures around 40 degrees. They are just-barely-road-safe competition tires essentially designed for use in warm ambient temperatures only.
I had an STI with the stock tires for a long time and they were terrible in the cold weather.
