Sumitomo Encounter HT 2 – 265/65 R18 114T TL is a highway-terrain SUV tyre engineered for drivers who prioritise ride comfort, durability, and stable on-road performance. The tyre features a symmetric tread pattern designed to maintain consistent road contact, ensuring even tread wear and predictable steering response under varying load conditions. Wide circumferential grooves improve water evacuation, enhancing wet-road traction and reducing aquaplaning risk. The higher 65-profile sidewall contributes to improved ride comfort and impact absorption on uneven surfaces. With a 114T load and speed rating, the Encounter HT 2 is well suited for mid-size and full-size SUVs used primarily on paved roads and highways.
