Sumitomo Tires

The Enhance CX2 is the smart choice for SUV and CUV drivers seeking a tire that's tough enough to handle heavy loads while still delivering dependable year-round performance.

This 3-season light truck and SUV tire combines great dry pavement handling with surefooted wet-traction performance, for confident, on-road adventures. The symmetric tread pattern has five ribs with a continuous centre rib for good straight line traction. The Encounter HT's intermediate and shoulder tread blocks provide great stability, and the four deep continuous grooves aid in reducing hydroplaning.

The Sumitomo Enhance CX combines progressive design with precision performance to deliver an exceptional 3-season driving experience. This premium touring tire is engineered to provide SUV and CUV owners with a smooth, quiet ride, along with superior traction and handling capabilities across a range of conditions. Our independent performance testing of the HTR Enhance CX resulted in top marks for both dry and wet performance, as well as a ‘very good’ rating for hydroplaning and rolling resistance. The tread utilizes an asymmetric five-rib pattern that enhances ride stability and delivers even wear, resulting in a 100,000km warranty. The notched center rib and wider outside shoulder blocks provide enhanced cornering stability at higher speeds, while the five-pitch tread block sequence reduces overall road noise.
