Sumitomo Ice Edge Winter 215/60R17 96T Passenger Tire

Sumitomo Ice Edge

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• Winter weather traction
• Enhanced controllability
• Upgraded maneuvering

OVERVIEW

The Sumitomo Ice Edge is a touring, winter tire manufactured for passenger vehicles and SUVs.

The tire upgrades the harsher winter weather traction. It combines the winter compound and the detailed directional tread design to boost the winter weather grip on the ice- and snow-covered surfaces. The winter compound enhances rubber flexibility in freezing temperatures as it maintains the ideal rubber flexibility in versatile weather. The directional tread design with the optimized block placement and the high-density siping placement upgrades the number of biting edges gripping the road surface, even when driving on ice and snow surfaces. The tread’s detailed circumferential and lateral grooves avoid hydroplaning, which further improves the wet and winter weather performing ability.

The tread design and stronger construction upgrades the controllability and the driving durability throughout the model’s performance. The directional tread design optimizes the surface contact, which upgrades the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. In this manner, the steering becomes faster and more precise in its response to the driver’s commands, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure affecting the model. The tire’s reinforced full-width nylon overlay and steel belt structure work together to improve the load and driving durability. The stronger structure enhances the driving strength as it does not allow the tire to deform under the pressure affecting the model.

The Ice Edge utilizes the tread design to enhance the maneuvering ability. The open shoulder design’s independent tread blocks increase the number of biting edges gripping the road surface during the drive. The stronger surface grip enables the tire’s secure cornering ability as it maintains the surface contact. The tread’s directional tread pattern and the optimal siping detail work together to enhance the braking power. These sipes increase the friction between the tire and the road surface which decreases the braking distance. As a result, the tire upgrades the driver’s control over the vehicle throughout the drive.

Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
