The Sumitomo Encounter HT2 is a highway terrain, all season tire manufactured for light trucks and SUVs. This model also has touring, passenger car sizes available. Sumitomo offers a 60,000 mile treadwear warranty. The ideal tread design and the wear-resistant compound prevent irregular and premature wear formation, for longer service life and usability.
The tire also promotes a quiet and comfortable drive. This asymmetric tread pattern can reduce road and tread noise levels heard in the vehicle’s cabin. The special rubber compound absorbs the shock of driving, which minimizes vibrations felt by the passengers. This improves the passengers’ enjoyment during the drive and guarantees a comfortable performance.
The Sumitomo Encounter HT2 also offers great controllability. The asymmetric tread pattern and the consistent road contact enhance steering responsiveness and driving stability. The steering response time is faster and more precise to the driver’s commands, while the structure is stabilized against driving pressure. Large elements can shorten the braking distance, by creating friction. Also, wide shoulder blocks upgrade the cornering ability. These elements enhance the driver’s control over the vehicle and make this model perfectly safe for performance.
