Sumitomo Ice Edge Winter 225/65R17 102T Passenger Tire

Excellent traction on snow %26 ice with my AWD toyota RAV %26 Honda Civic. Far superior for winter driving in contrast to All Season Terrain %26 All Season tires. I've purchased several sets through the years with no issues concerning durability. Unfortunately you might have issues having this tire installed at Walmart due to the speed rating being just below toyota's threshold which is ridiculous. If this tire is used for winter driving as intended /no worries. You obviously should not use during the warm months due to the softness of the synthetic rubber compounds that gives this tire more traction in cold/icy conditions. The tread is a very deep depth at 13/22nds which is unparalleled with a budget tire.

I got these for my mom's 2000 Buick LeSabre. Her all-seasons couldn't get out of the driveway even with a little snow. They were bad in winter, even with a heavy car. With the Sumitomos, it was completely the opposite. She said her car doesn't even hesitate getting out of the driveway, even with ice on it, and this year was bad with ice. She also said she feels a lot more confident when driving on winter roads. I asked her if they were noisy. She said she could hear the difference, but nothing annoying. Also, before I had the tires mounted, I got them studded. I also have these tires on my Toyota Yaris, but unstudded. I wasn't sure how well they'd do, because it's only a little over 2300 lbs, but the car is a unit in snow. There has been a few times I've pushed snow with the front bumper to the point it almost stalled. It's only 1.5L 106hp stick shift. But the tires wouldn't lose grip in dry snow. Slushy snow isn't quite as much traction in my driveway, bc it's basically icy mud, but I never got stuck with them. I would recommend getting studded if you're in an area that gets glare ice. My next set I'll get studded.
