The Sumitomo Ice Edge tire is designed to handle the harshest winter conditions with ease, thanks to cutting-edge tire design and rubber technologies. Featuring Sumitomo Rubber’s 3D sipe technology, this winter tire offers exceptional traction in deep or packed snow, and on ice. While it is studdable, it still delivers impressive cold weather grip without the studs, especially on dry, cold roads. Enjoy the perfect blend of cold weather stability and performance, ensuring a smooth ride even when the streets are clear.
Conquer winter roads with confidence using the Sumitomo Ice Edge winter tire. Developed for coupes, sedans, CUVs, SUVs, and minivans, this studdable tire delivers superior grip on snow, ice, and slush. Its wide, serrated tread channels enhance snow traction and rapidly evacuate slush and ice, while the optimized 3D serrated siping pattern further improves grip. Experience enhanced safety and control throughout the winter season with the Sumitomo Ice Edge tire.
The tread pattern features an aggressive directional design that improves straight line stability and supports efficient snow evacuation. Wide angled grooves channel slush and water away from the contact patch, reducing the risk of hydroplaning on wet winter roads. The high density siping creates hundreds of biting edges that improve traction on icy surfaces, while the tread blocks include Snow Claw technology to enhance grip in deep or unpacked snow. The Ice Edge is also studdable for drivers who want additional traction in extreme ice conditions.
Inside, the tire is built with a reinforced structure that enhances durability and promotes even wear throughout the winter season. Its optimized tread geometry helps manage road noise, giving the Ice Edge a smoother and more comfortable ride compared to many traditional winter tires.
