Tires SUMITOMO or GOODRIDGE
My Sumitomo Ice Edges have been doing phenomenal for a more budget snow tire this winter
Best snow and ice tire I\u2019ve used have been Sumitomo Ice Edge. They are studdable and they are way cheaper than the major brands. I\u2019ve got them on my 01 Jetta and 04 L300. I\u2019ve had Blizzaks but they are pricey and the Firestone Wnterforces were meh.
I just got some Sumitomos replaced with about 40,000 mi on them which probably still had 20 to go and were still gripping great but just a little bit noisy. They are the parents company of Falken. They are a great brand as far as longevity and grip. I'm currently using Laufenn which are a sub brand of Hankook which cost me under $90 a corner and I am so pleased that I'm considering putting them on my second car. This mid-tier brand has been just as if not more pleasant in the realm of noise and on center road feel at speed than Michelin Defenders I had just a month ago on a car we sold. My Laufenns will probably have only half of the tread life of the Michelins I used to have, but at only half the price and the feel on the road is identical but I'm sure the performance is a little bit less. We do have close to bottom tier on a car that is new to us which is a Douglas brand and it'll be good for the next year but it is an unpleasant tire. It's loud and doesn't feel like it tracks well. But it does grip well enough to push the replacement date out a year since they were manufactured this year.
I just put the conti viking contacts back on the s5 last week, and I need to get some winter tires for the sq5, I think I'm going with the sumitomo ice edge as we had them with the old a4 and they went through anything. I'll probably put them back on the s5 next year. We're in NH and go up north all lot for riding, plus we get decent snow and they're great for the $. Then it's wheel shopping for the sq5 for next year! It's so nice and easy to swap out winter/ summer wheels and tires.
I got around well with Summos in the winter on my Mazda 2
Esu SW608 komplekta suvazinejes pries ~10 metu su e39. Kaip biudzetinis variantas buvo ok.
When I got my truck, the dealer put some Goodrides on there.....China knockoff Goodyears. They lasted about 30k mi.
Goodride ni slučajno. Uzela sam u 7.mj od vulkanizera goodride all season gume koje je netko vozio pola godine prije mene. Katastrofa.
Dobio sam goodride zimske sa autom znaci nebi ih najgorem neprijatelju preporucio, prva ledena kiša sa njima je bila iskustvo koje mi je dalo doznanja da je sava eskimo premium guma nasprema tog smeća.
I had a total blow out with one tire while pulling the trailer empty. Total miles on the tires was maybe 300 max. Now (2025), I have probably less than 1500 miles on the trailer and another Goodride tire needs replacing.
