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.
There is such a notion as touring/comfort tires. They are not sporty at all, their advantage is in the ride quality compared to sportiness. And the prices are usually lower.
I drive a 2006 Toyota Camry. Not the best on gas, but it handles winter roads well and is comfortable. I like Uniroyal Tiger Paw all season tires.
General Tire, Kumho, Dunlop, Uniroyal are also decent.
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.
Uniroyal Tiger Paw 4s on Euro Design 17s
Sumitomo and Falken are grippy and good but get loud as hell after a while.
my summer tires are Uniroyal Power Paw summers and they do pretty okay. i dont get a lot of traction in the rain mainly because it doesn’t rain a lot where I live so when it does rain it just draws a bunch of oil out of the asphalt which makes it slick.
Tiger Paws with 5,500 miles over 6 months had an old fashioned blowout
Mit Uniroyal hab ich sehr schlechte Erfahrung bei Allwetterreifen gemacht. Bridgestone und Continental bisher sehr gute.
