About This Tire

The Sumitomo HTR Enhance CX2 235/60R18 is an all-season tire designed for crossover, SUV, and pickup truck drivers who prioritize responsive handling and long tread life in everyday driving. Its tread design and compound focus on all-season traction balance and wet weather performance through high-silica technology and asymmetric patterning. The tire features a high-silica, super microparticulate carbon compound that enhances both strength and flexibility for improved wear resistance and wet traction.

Its asymmetric tread pattern includes straight circumferential grooves and wide lateral notches for water evacuation, while an increased number of 3D zigzag sipes create additional biting edges for light snow traction. Driver feedback points to strong performance across wet and dry conditions, with notable comfort and handling consistency throughout the tire's lifespan. Compared to performance-oriented tires, it emphasizes comfort, stability, and long-term usability.

Overall, it's a solid choice for crossovers and SUVs used primarily for daily driving and highway travel in varied weather conditions.
