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.
Le avevo 4 stagioni sulla Fiat punto del 2008, la mia prima auto.
Mi sono trovato molto bene, l'ho tenuta dal 2019 al 2022, sono andato anche sulla neve in montagna, in nevicata piena, e ho avuto zero problemi.
Avute per 4 anni su una c3. Uso misto, in ordine: collina, citt\u00e0, autostrada a velocit\u00e0 sostenuta.
In inverno nevica poco da me, ma le abbiamo testate un paio di settimane fa (vecchie di 4 anni) e siamo usciti senza problemi dal vialetto sterrato e innevato.
Previously, Sumitomo P03 that I got rid of at 35k because LOUD. Otherwise durable and great in snow. A little unsettled at speed.
Sumitomo and Falken are grippy and good but get loud as hell after a while.

Fanno cagare a spruzzo. Avute delle estive di quella marca e w gesu sul bagnato sembrava di guidare sul ghiaccio.
