Customers praise the Sumitomo HTR A/S P03's wet traction and hydroplaning resistance, with most ratings between 8-10. A few note scores around 7, but overall performance in wet conditions is highly regarded.

Purchased a 2nd set after great results from the 1st. For the price these tires are a great value. Wet traction is superb. I drive a few rural roads during the week and these tires hug the road and are great in the corners. Great steering response.

...These are the best non-snow rated tires I've ever experienced in the snow. I've been able to get in and out of a hilly driveway even with 3 inches of fresh snow - without even slipping. I've never been able to do this with any other tire that is not a specific snow tire...
I've only had these tires for a month but wanted to get a review out there. These are the best non-snow rated tires I've ever experienced in the snow. I've been able to get in and out of a hilly driveway even with 3 inched of fresh snow - without even slipping. I've never been able to do this with any other tire that is not a specific snow tire. I even pulled a full trailed up the hill in fresh snow. Bottom line, impressive in snow regardless of temperature.

What I like most about these tires is, be it rain or snow the poorer the weather, the more I love these tires... They were equally as trustworthy in the snow, love them.
What I like most about these tires is, be it rain or snow the poorer the weather, the more I love these tires. This is the 2nd set of Sumitomo I have owned. The first set were the best rain tires I ever owned. They were equally as trustworthy in the snow, love them. Glad I found them. After the ome tires need changed out the Sumitomo tires are my go to tires .

...Dry traction is very good. Not Hoosier A7 good, but not bad for a street tire.
2 nd set of these tires. I rebought based on wet and snow traction. These work great on slippery surfaces. Dry traction is also very good. Not Hoosier A7 good, but not bad for a street tire.

Perfect for my car here in Florida with great dry traction and sufficient wet traction for my needs. Price was great and the delivery to and work by the installer were perfect. Would definitely recommend the tires and TR for their installer network!

...They are much smoother and much more comfortable and I believe I get better gas mileage...
Like I said when I first purchased these tires, they are much better than the original. They are much smoother and much more comfortable and I believe I get better gas mileage. I did pick up a nail the other day and got that repaired right away with no damage to the tire. Once repaired, the tires continued to perform with the same level of comfort, safety, and reliability as before. They grip well during acceleration and breaking. They corner well even at 45mph without losing traction. During rain, I am a little more cautious but again, they perform admirably. I would definitely purchase these tires again.

...Perform like a summer performance tire, but have better treadwear like an all-season...
Excellent performance and very good price. Perform like a summer performance tire, but have better treadwear like an all-season. Hard to judge road noise and comfort since the mini cooper is so loud and harsh to begin with, but these tires complement it's handling ability quite well, particularly in hard turns

Very pleased with the improvement over the stock Bridgestone Potenza. Perform better AND quieter! Obviously winter performance is not amazing but did take them through snow and ice in Maine and they did great. A great value, would buy again!

...I drive hard, although check my air pressure and rotate tires frequently and have achieved 62000 miles to the wear bars, I could get more but I'm pleased with this and I feel I'm losing traction, so new ones are on the way...
This is my second set of 4. Keep in mind this car is a little Xbox, but these tires are amazing: This car is horrible in wet weather, these tires drastically improve that. This car is an entry level car with poor soundproofing and plenty of road noise, these tires drastically improve that. I drive hard, although check my air pressure and rotate tires frequently and have achieved 62000 miles to the wear bars, I could get more but I'm pleased with this and I feel I'm losing traction, so new ones are on the way. These tires drastically improve dry road condition driving and handling, really feel great and super quiet taking this Xbox to the next level. Not quite Lexus quiet, but a huge difference. These tires make me love driving my little car.
I also installed Sumitomo on my 4 Runner with all the same rave notices as above.
