Sumitomo Tires: Frequently Asked Questions

How good are Sumitomo tires?

Sumitomo tires are a great option for those looking for a durable safe tire for a reasonable price. On average, Sumitomo tires are 30% cheaper than their competitors (Hankook, Kumho, and Cooper), but don’t let the price fool you. These tires have longevity and come with excellent treadwear warranties. Additionally, most reasonably priced tires don't use superior quality rubber and test each tire rigorously, but most tire companies aren’t Sumitomo.

Sumitomo Tires, a division of the Sumitomo Rubber Company, produces its tires in Japan, China and the USA. Their U.S. manufacturing facilities are located in Tonawanda, NY, a suburb of Buffalo. This facility produces over 4 Million tires annually for passenger cars, trucks, buses and motorcycles.
