Sumitomo HTR A/S P01

Very pleased with these tyres – The tyres are fitted to my Peugeot 406 V6 sedan. I like their comfortable ride and they are very smooth and quiet especially cruising at 110kph. They have a reputation for durability and were good value for money. So far I have covered 10000 km on them and am very pleased with them.

Excellent value – Used these tyres on a Volvo 240 and currently have them on a WS Fiesta. 185/65 R14 for both cars. Wet grip is fantastic. Dry grip is also good. I had an emergency braking test when someone pulled in front of me from stationary while I was traveling at 80 km/h+. Stopped fine. I've never had tyres last as long as this either but I used to always run UHP summer tyres. Unlike those, these tyres will last. I always go to check them expecting to see a few more millimeters worn off and they look the same. They are also comfortable and seem fairly quiet.

The best thing about these tyres however is their value. Considering their performance they are equivalent to tyres costing up to 150% as much. The newer A/S P02 is now available and seems like it would be an even better performer in wet weather, however, it is not available in 14 inch sizes like the P01. I don't think better tyres are available in 14 inch sizes.

Good – These tyres looked ok and had a nice tread pattern, seemed to wear and handle well also priced ok. I would buy them again if the price was right. Had these tyres on a 6ltr 08 Calais, and got around 48,000kms on them. Had no issues in the wet or dry although being a family the car, it is not driven hard. When I replaced them the guy at the tyre shop said they were a cheap tyre and replaced them with Achilles tyres. I was happy with them and I would have got better mileage out of them if I had kept an eye on the wheel alignment. Slighty more road noise than the Achilles

Excellent – Great value for money. A much better tyre than the original Michelins on my Mazda6. They give a very quiet comfortable ride and have excellent road manners. I would recommend these to anyone looking for a top performing tyre with the added attractions of a low purchase price and tread wear warranty Grip in both wet and dry conditions. Quiet, smooth ride. Tracking over longitudinal ridges in road surface without pulling from side to side. There very little to dislike.
