πŸ’‘ Is the Sumitomo HTR Enhance LX2 215/60R17 a Good Tire?

The Sumitomo HTR Enhance LX2 215/60R17 is an all-season grand touring tire designed for mid-size family sedans and compact crossovers. It delivers balanced dry and wet performance with predictable handling thanks to its optimized tread compound and circumferential grooves for water evacuation. Ride comfort is above average with low road noise, while tread life is competitive for its category though no specific warranty is advertised. Rated Excellent by TireRack based on 240 consumer surveys, it offers solid value for daily driving but lacks the premium construction materials found in higher-end touring tires. Currently priced from $144.99, it is available through major online tire retailers.

About This Tire

The Sumitomo HTR Enhance LX2 215/60R17 is an all-season tire, designed for coupe, sedan, and small crossover drivers who prioritize responsive handling and long-term durability in everyday driving. Its asymmetric tread design and high-silica compound focus on balancing wet traction, wear resistance, and all-season performance including light snow capability.

The tire features a super microparticulate carbon compound that enhances both strength and flexibility, while straight circumferential grooves and wide lateral notches work to evacuate water and resist hydroplaning. An increased number of 3D zigzag sipes create additional biting edges for snow and ice traction, and optimized groove depth with even pressure distribution helps prevent irregular wear patterns. Driver feedback points to excellent performance across wet and dry conditions, with notable comfort and predictable handling characteristics 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 family vehicles used primarily for daily commuting and highway driving in varied weather conditions.
