The Encounter HT2 is a Sumitomo tire designed for drivers of pickup trucks, SUVs, crossovers, and full-sized vans who want reliable year-round traction and a smooth, quiet ride. It is engineered to provide excellent traction in dry, wet, and wintry driving conditions, including light snow. The tire's compound is specifically designed for all-season use and is molded into a symmetric tread pattern that allows for easy rotation, even tread wear, and stable handling on dry roads. The shoulder grooves on the tire's tread help reduce noise for a comfortable and quiet driving experience. Additionally, the wide circumferential grooves effectively channel water away from the tire's footprint, enhancing hydroplaning resistance and providing confidence in rainy conditions. The tire also features wave-shaped lateral sipes on its tread blocks, which create stable, biting edges for improved traction on wet and wintry roads. Internally, the Encounter HT2 has a two-ply polyester casing, reinforced bead apex, and high-strength twin steel belts, all of which contribute to the tire's durability, control, and high-speed stability.
