This time they did fine in 9" of CT snow. Town plow blocked the mouth of the driveway? No problem, I just rocked the Max and the 18" Sumitomo's did the rest. It be curious to know what other "all-season" 18's get the job done in snow, so we could have some choices known for those who need the all weather capabilities in an 18.

Driving back to Philly was crazy--what normally takes 4 took 8 hours. There was something like a 10-car crash on I-684 S so the Troops forced all traffic into Bedford. That Saw Mill had no entrance for I-287 W, totally bizarre, forcing us into the city.

WTF at my house there is barely a dusting of snow. Phila. is lame as far as change of seasons go. We get 2" here and some of the people in my dept. claim they are "risking their lives" to get to work. MAN the **** UP PHILA!

Good luck, I don't think you will be disappointed especially given the price. I would definitely like to try Sumitomo again some day if I have a different car and I need an 18. Hopefully they'll come out with a "next generation" HTR+ by then!

I was driving to Florida a few years ago. Half way through Georgia there was a slight downfall of sleet. 10 car pileups, cars flying off the road, people stopped to camp out at rest areas. It was a mess. They actually closed the interstate. Unbelievable.

I already had these tires on my 3rd gen 2 years ago, they own I noticed the tread pattern is somewhat different now from when I had them, I'm guessing they were improved, also tirerack.com's ratings are better now than they were before for this exact tire. So if they were awesome back when I had them, they must be amazing now
