I’ve had them for 2 years now. Decent off-road grip (gravel, dirt, slow trail crawls, deep snow, soft sand). They’re good enough that with the price I’d get another set and it doesn’t as much to replace.
I used to always buy Goodyear sport tires for bmw 328i but recently I’ve purchased dextero they are half the price and perform well. I haven’t had any problems with them in the last 2-3 years I’ve bought them
I went with Solar 4XS+ available from Walmart. They are manufactured by Sumitomo tires. These came in really cheap at $350 for all 4 tires including lifetime balance and rotation and road hazard warranty at Walmart. These are 89 H rated, so a bit soft which cut down the road noise a lot compared to my previous Bridgestone Ecopia. Efficiency is the same as the Ecopias at 4.3 mi/kwh but they ride smooth and quiet.
these Sumitomo HTR Enhance WX2 have been solid and cheaper than Michelins
I swear by Sumitomo Ice Edge tires. I've had three sets now on three different vehicles and other than a couple of nights when there was freezing rain, I've never had issues with them
Just reporting first snow, 6", with Sumimoto 205.60.16 Ice Edge snow tires on 16"Austin wheels, GREAT. Soft tire, slows cornering cheap really grips, comfortable.
I like them, they do great in the gravel, rain and snow but are a summer tire so they dont suck ass most of the time like most All Seasons (aka no seasons). Im on my second set, and will definitely get them again when needed.
Reviews say its major shortcoming is that it generates a lot of loud noise.
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.
My old 175/50s didn't handle for ****
