I have used these on my Toyota Corolla for years and love them. My brother also uses them on his 2009 Malibu. I purchased these mostly for the wet road traction ratings, and they have not disappointed. The treadwear and quiet ride is excellent as well. I'll keep on purchasing these for my vehicles as long as they are made!

Many customers rate winter traction highly with scores of 9s and 10s, highlighting confident snow performance. Some note reduced grip in severe ice, but overall reliable for all-season capability.

...Even in the snow they grip well...
The tire does not roll into a corner. It grips firmly in and out of corners. Reacts when you need to make evasive decisions. Breaking is on the money. I would say the same thing during wet weather conditions. Even in the snow they grip well. All around tire. Try it for yourself.

...We just had a snow storm that gave us around 9 inches of snow and it did amazing getting me to work and home each day and night while feeling safe and secure with no sliding or spinning. Sure a snow tire will do better and an all weather tire may do better in snow and ice. However after owning the Vredestein Quatrac, Quatrac 5, Quatrac Pro and the first generation Goodyear Weather ready these tires have done everything just as well for me in all driving conditions!...
Update: After having these tires several thousand miles and for over a year I must say they are a great tire. In general I always purchased Vredestein tires for my new vehicles when removing the junk OEM tires. This time I wanted to try another brand for the heck of it and after a ton of research I went with the Sumitomo HTR A/S P03 and am glad I did. They have done everything the several sets of Vredestein tires I have owned did. The Sumitomo does great on wet roads and has great traction in heavy rains and feels very stable against hydroplaning and sticks to the road. It also does very well in the snow. We just had a snow storm that gave us around 9 inches of snow and it did amazing getting me to work and home each day and night while feeling safe and secure with no sliding or spinning.

However after owning the Vredestein Quatrac, Quatrac 5, Quatrac Pro and the first generation Goodyear Weather ready these tires have done everything just as well for me in all driving conditions! Our driveway is in the rear of our house and you have to go up a steep alley to get to it. At the bottom you have to make a 90 degree turn and start up the hill and you can get no speed up for the hill and this tire went up it fine and my Kicks is front wheel drive only. I was impressed. Also our alley regularly gets ice as water flows down it all the time it seems and then it freezes. These tires have really strong grip on ice for some reason and I was surprised at that. I have to say what a good tire these are and the price especially is very cheap and you get a good name brand tire and a 65,000 milage rating. You cant beat that! They also have a very stable and solid ride with a smooth ride quality and road noise is low. So if you are looking at these Sumitomo HTR A/S P03 tires because they are affordable go for it they are a very good tire for the money and perform excellent

Review: Sumitomo Tires - One Year Later
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I’m writing this review after a full year of driving on these Sumitomo tires, and I have to say, they have exceeded my expectations for a mid-tier tire. I purchased these from Tire Rack, and the experience from delivery to performance has been seamless.
The Highlights:
Ride Quality: Even after 12 months, the ride remains quiet and smooth. They absorbed road vibrations much better than the previous set I had.
Wet & Dry Traction: Living in a climate with varying weather, I’ve found the grip to be reliable. They feel planted during heavy rain and responsive during highway merges.
Tread Wear: I’ve checked the tread depth recently, and they are wearing very evenly. For the price point, the longevity is impressive.
Value: These are arguably the best "bang for your buck" tires on Tire Rack. You get premium-leaning performance without the "big brand" markup.
Final Verdict:
If you're looking for a dependable workhorse tire that doesn't compromise on safety or comfort, I highly recommend Sumitomo. After a year of daily driving, I’d definitely buy these again.

...Perfect for every day and not bad for sportier driving. Good in wet and dry conditions, but never tried snow so TBD there...
Great tires for their value. Previously had Michelin Pilot Sports and missed them in some scenarios when I really wanted to push limits, but these are great budget-friendly tires for 90% of driving. Perfect for every day and not bad for sportier driving. Good in wet and dry conditions, but never tried snow so TBD there.
On a budget? Get them — you won’t regret it. Got lots of cash you’re dying to spend? Go for something a little better like the Pilot Sport.

It was what I could afford at the time of the purchase. I like the way it handles in wet and dry pavement but it was ok in the snow.

I’ve purchased these tires before for my car, and my Mom’s 1998 Camry. They are smooth, quiet, comfortable, and handle the Florida rains very well! The Sumitomo’s lasted longer and have a better ride quality than the Michelin’s I had on prior. I will continue to buy these as long as they are available.
