Sumitomo HTR Enhance CX2
The Bottom Line
The HTR Enhance CX2 is well-suited for drivers seeking a comfortable and quiet ride with decent dry grip for long-distance travel. However, its lower UTQG treadwear rating suggests it may not last as long as some competitors, impacting overall value.
Important Note
The UTQG treadwear rating is notably low for the category, which could lead to more frequent replacements than some other touring all-season tires.
Pros
- Treadlife score of 8.5 with a 65,000-mile warranty indicates longevity, aligning well with the touring all-season category expectations.
- Comfort and noise scores of 8 make for a pleasant ride, suitable for long-distance travel.
- Dry grip score of 8.5 is solid for a touring tire, providing confidence on dry roads.
Cons
- The UTQG treadwear rating of 680 is significantly below the category average of 1658, suggesting a shorter lifespan compared to some competitors.
- Wet grip score of 7.5 may not be as reassuring in heavy rain compared to other touring options.
- The Nexen N Priz AH5 offers a similar performance package at a potentially lower price point, which might appeal to budget-conscious buyers.
