Snow and ice? Not a problem
Bought these for my dedicated winter tires in the Berkshires of Massachusetts. They are fantastic, work perfectly in all weather and rip through snow and ice with ease.

Sumitomo Ice Edges was money well spent.
With less than 1000 miles on my Ice Edges, they are nothing short of amazing. First blizzard this year, I had no problem driving 100 miles to work, passing AWD and 4X4 vehicles in a lane not cleared, nevere felt like I was losing control. These tires grab great in snow. The only thing that could make them better are studs, which they are designed for. Normally couldn't get out of my steep driveway without shoveling, but no problem with these tires. Would definitely buy again.

Needed A Cheap Set Of Winters, These Excel
I picked up Ford Maverick as a company vehicle for my business. I purchased these looking for a budget set of winter tires for it. Thus far the traction in inclement weather has been superb and ride comfort is way up over the stock all seasons. Quite happy, especially with the value prospect of them.

Works well, pretty heavy and little noisy w/ studs
Takes me to point A to point B very well with minimal treadwear. Makes my sedan feel like a van on dry road with stufs, but it feels good braking on wet/icey roads. If you choose to stud these tires, order your tires at a tire shop for reduced cost, take it elsewhere, and have another shop stud them because some
places don't like to service tires that have been mounted already like Les Schwabb.

Excellent! Extremely happy with my purchase!
Purchased mid November 2024 for my 2016 Sienna. The Erie, PA area got dumped on with a considerable amount of snow Thanksgiving weekend. These tires performed magnificently! They cut right through the snow effortlessly. This is a first time purchase for this brand. I will definitely buy again in the future.

These are a good value snow tire.
I like these tires a lot. It's too early to tell what treadware will do as I only have 2000 miles on them. They give me peace of mind as my wife drives down the road.

Good tires!
Have used these before and they don't let you down. They grab in snow, tread stays clear in slush, pretty good on ice when aired down and hook well on dirt roads.
The Ice Edge is a studdable winter tire that's designed to give drivers of coupes, sedans, CUVs, SUVs, and minivans an edge on ice, snow, and slush covered roads thanks to its outstanding cold weather grip.
Features & Benefits
Tread is designed for use in winter weather
Black sidewall
Can be pinned with TSMI #12 or 13 studs, depending on the tire's size, for additional grip on icy and snowy roads where permitted
Three Peak Mountain Snowflake symbol means this tire has been certified to perform in severe snow conditions
Winter weather often means colder temperatures along with ice and snow. While some might welcome the change in season, the change in elements can make driving more stressful than it needs to be, as attempting to navigate through ice and snow covered roads might be very dangerous. Fortunately, winter tires are designed to give drivers added traction during the colder months, and the Ice Edge from Sumitomo was specifically built to help drivers of coupes, sedans, CUVs, SUVs, and minivans conquer winter weather. Featuring a special rubber compound that allows for superior performance in colder weather, the Ice Edge is built with wide tread channels that quickly remove ice and slush to strengthen grip. An optimized siping pattern provides additional biting edges, and the Ice Edge is pinned for optional studs to further increase traction on wintery roads.
