Questions and answers
- Which is better for wet weather?
- The Nexen markets four wide longitudinal grooves for drainage. The Sumitomo claims enhanced wet traction and grip. Neither claim is independently verified here, but the Sumitomo's much stronger owner rating favors it.
- Is the Sumitomo worth the extra money?
- Yes for most shoppers. The gap is about $9, and the Sumitomo carries a 5.0 rating from 20 ratings versus 1.6 from 7 for the Nexen.
- Which tire lasts longer?
- Neither listing gives a treadwear warranty or UTQG treadwear number, so longevity can't be compared from the data. The Sumitomo claims handling stays reliable as it wears.
- Which is quieter?
- The Sumitomo lists reduced road noise. The Nexen description claims a quiet, comfortable ride from its shoulder block design. Both are claims, not measured results.
- Do both fit a 235/65R18 wheel?
- Both are listed in 235/65R18. The Sumitomo spec sheet also lists conflicting 15 and 16 inch figures, so confirm the size on the listing before buying.
