Sumitomo Ice Edge Winter 205/65R16 95T Passenger 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.

Unlike a previous tire purchase, these were delivered on schedule. The appointment was on time. The auto shop crew were personable and very fast. The tires were on and I was back home in less than an hour. Bizzarely, I received a message telling me that I missed my appointment and my tires were being stored at Walmart. I contacted customer service and assured Safar that my tires were on the car in the garage. He was very cool and sorted it out. It was a pleasure talking to him. I've made mistakes myself, so I didn't get hysterical.
