About This Tire

The Sumitomo Encounter HT2 255/55R20 is an all-season highway tire designed for pickup, SUV, crossover, and van drivers who prioritize dependable year-round traction and a smooth, quiet ride in everyday driving. Its tread design and compound focus on balancing dry handling performance with wet weather confidence and noise control for comfortable highway use.

The tire features an optimized symmetric tread design with wide interconnected circumferential grooves for water evacuation and hydroplaning resistance. Wave-shaped lateral sipes integrated into the tread blocks create biting edges for wet and light snow traction, while curved shoulder grooves help trap airborne noise for a quieter ride. Driver feedback points to strong dry handling and durability, with good wet performance and comfort levels that make it well-suited for both daily commuting and longer highway trips.

Compared to performance-oriented tires, it emphasizes comfort, stability, and long-term usability. Overall, it's a solid choice for light trucks and SUVs used primarily for highway driving and daily transportation in varied weather conditions.
