Driving through winter has never been easier with Sumitomo giving us the best tires to travel snowy terrain. For example, their Ice Edge is a cheap studdable winter model that carries coupes, sedans, crossovers, and SUVs even through severe snow.
First, the cutting edge technology on this tire delivers superior cold weather grip and stability, combined with premium comfort. It benefits from optimized 3D serrated siping that greatly boosts traction on snowy surfaces. Also, this model consists of triangular center blocks that provide strong contact with the road for confident handling and braking. The Ice Edge takes advantage of wide and serrated tread grooves to quickly evacuate slush and ice, thus increasing surface grip. Smart distribution of pins offers maximized performance when equipped with studs for winter usage. The rubber design uses a special soft silica compound that offers the best traction on ice and snow.
Moreover, the Ice Edge benefits from top tier internal construction to skyrocket performance. For instance, the sidewalls are hardened by a solid bead apex that boosts strength under loads up to 1,102 lbs per single tire. Above that, we see reinforced twin steel belts that greatly increase carcass durability. Improved stud retention is ensured by the stiff base compound that also enhances handling ability and fuel efficiency at speeds up to 118 mph. A full-width layer of nylon along with additional edge bands lock the belts in place while also offering stability. The outstanding design of this model makes it perform in the worst environments and temperatures, therefore making it 3PMS certified.
Finally, the affordable Ice Edge is available on the US market in a vast number of sizes from 14" up to 20" wheel diameter. Satisfied customers recommend this tire on cars like Ford Escape, Toyota Tacoma, and Subaru Forester.
