The Sumitomo HTR Enhance LX2, introduced in 2019, is a lightweight touring tire designed for year-round use. They are characterized by high ride comfort, reliable grip in all weather and road conditions, good resistance to aquaplaning, and optimal fuel consumption.
The Sumitomo HTR Enhance LX2 is an all-season touring tire that offers a comfortable ride in a variety of road conditions. Optimized tread stiffness distribution provides improved dry performance. The inclusion of silica and unique polymers in the rubber compound has increased the level of wet grip. The use of super microscopic carbon black particles in the compound using Ultra Micro Carbon Technology has increased the wear resistance and service life of tires. Finally, the integration of innovative technologies ensures increased acoustic ride comfort and a smoother ride.
Sumitomo HTR Enhance LX2 is the Japanese brand's second-generation HTR Enhance tire, which also includes the HTR Enhance CX2 (for SUVs) and HTR Enhance WX2 (passenger cars).
Sumitomo has launched three new all-season tires, the Sumitomo HTR Enhance LX2 and Sumitomo HTR Enhance WX2 passenger cars, and the Sumitomo HTR Enhance CX2, designed for SUVs.
The Sumitomo HTR Enhance LX2 is a touring category and has been optimized to provide improved ride quality with extended service life. In addition, the developers have paid particular attention to reducing the risk of aquaplaning for maximum safety on wet roads.
All new tires carry the M + S mark, which should confirm their suitability for use throughout the year, including on a surface covered with snow. Three models will be available in over 80 sizes.
