Sumitomo Encounter HT2 Features
Built upon the legendary performance of its predecessor, the HT2 offers incredible wet and dry handling, a quiet and smooth ride, and long lasting service life. With its outstanding warranty package and suite of high-end features, it's the choice to make for your next paved adventure or daily driver.
Its features include:
Severe weather rated with the Three-Peak mountain snowflake and mud and snow (M+S) designations.
Smooth, curved shoulder grooves help reduce road noise and vibration to yield a quiet, comfortable ride experience.
Wave-shaped lateral siping delivers incredible braking power on both wet and dry driving surfaces.
Optimized tread design improves dry handling and stability in every season.
Excellent wet condition grip and boosted hydroplaning resistance thanks to wide circumferential grooves that promptly channel water away from the tire’s tread.
Amazing strength from within due to this tire’s robust construction with reinforced twin steel belts, full-width, jointless nylon overlay plies, reinforced bead apex and 2-ply sidewall supports for increased load condition performance, long lasting durability, cornering strength and high-speed stability.
The HT2 meets the high demands for toughness and versatility that modern drivers of CUV, SUV and pickup trucks require!
