Sumitomo Ice Edge Studable-Winter Radial Tire - 225/60R16 98T

I run a full set of snows on my two wheel drive cars. I have had lots of brands over the years and they have all been good. The Michelin X-Ice is the only one I can't recommend. All hum and vibrate like a truck tire and handle and brake like truck tires except the X-Ice. If they can be studded they will be worse. These are quieter than others brands at 3,000 miles. They ride great but the others do too. The colder it gets the better they handle like most snow tires. Sure they are squishy on warm days but better than most stud tires. I haven't had them on the interstate yet but at 60 MPH they don't wobble or drift and the handling is good for a stud snow. I never get the studs but they are the best snow tires when things get scary. No ice yet but these things claw through sloppy wet snow to get to my main road easily. I like these tires if I get 3 winters great.

They take a 12 stud and were easy to stud. They seem to get good traction in all conditions. I would say all at a value that can't be beat.

I give 5 stars because I have not 10!!!I is a experience driver for years andI use many differents in differents cars and trucks.This ones is probably one of the more reliable tires that I use in my live.Very good quality, look good in my 2004 Honda Odyssey.Right now is summer but I decide change my tires thinking on the winter and in the snow too.For three reasons I buy this ones:Good reviews, price and because this is studdable tire, so, if I like put sttuds it came pre-drilled.Well, the important is; I put 4 of it 225/60r16 98T in my mini van that I use for maintenance works, so, she carrier a lot of heavy tools back and my experience is really impressive!!!They is very quite, and ONLY for check the stability I run my van very, very, very fast for some miles in a Highway, I take some curved road that I know before and easyly and take it 20 miles for fast than before without any problem.Stability with this tires it's really impressive!!Percentage, considered that my car improved 35 to 40%.I that the result in winter is similar although I have not had the opportunity to test them.IMPORTANT!!!!If you decide buy it, keep in consideration as the time of rolling them; THAT THESE TIRES HAVE A CLEARLY MARKED DIRECTION OF ROTATION ON THE SIDE, SO BE CAREFUL THAT WHEN THEY ARE CHANGED THEY WILL BE ROLLED IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

These turned my Chevy HHR and Honda Odyssey from incapable death traps on snowy/icy roads to sure-footed, amazingly capable winter driving vehicles. Gone are the days of wondering how I'll get to work, or fretting when my pregnant wife and son head out in the van. I've had snow tires over the years, but these are particularly good. The price is a great value, and I'd put them up against the top-shelf tires any day. I chose not to stud them, but they're still unbelievably effective compared to comparably worthless all-season tires. You won't regret the purchase for a second.

I had these tires studded and have been using them the last few winters. They have worked really well. I would say they are one of the best tires I have tested (Nokian is still the best), but at a fraction of the price. My passengers say they are loud, but I value performance over comfort, so it doesn't bother me one bit.

Had these for a couple months now in northern Minnesota. Went from 4x4 jeep to front wheel drive Jeep because of 8 mpg difference and the suv doesn’t get driven a whole lot now that she’s retired. I can’t believe how amazing these things are. They are really soft and have lots of siphoning which provides incredible snow/ice traction. Honesty this front wheel drive with snow tires does better than our previous 4x4 with all seasons in every category. The are quite and seem to be holding up nicely. They will only be used in winter (as advised) so it will take some time to get a long term review.

Western New York’s harsh rapid 2 week on 2 week off winters... These tires are amazing for my 04 Chevy impala. With over 200,000k on my car.. the tires wear faster but with 12,000k on these tires the tread is only down 25%. I am very shocked on how the handling with turns are with these tires.. most people go 40 mph in snow or less. I can easily pass them going 45-55mph. These tires can also go through a foot of snow easily, maybe even 2 feet. It will turn your car/ride into a truck. Purchase these if you wanna have no issues driving in severe winter storms !!

Great tire, good wear, good traction. Definitely recommend. Would buy again.
