Sumitomo Sumitomo HTR ENHANCE LX Performance Passenger: what the numbers tell you
Manufacturer treadwear data for the Sumitomo HTR ENHANCE LX Performance Passenger is not publicly listed. This is common for OEM-only or track-day tires that don't carry a US treadwear warranty. No mileage warranty is published for this tire, which is typical for performance summer and track-day rubber where the manufacturer doesn't make wear-life claims.
Cabin noise data for this tire is not published by the manufacturer. As a winter tire built for the truck-suv segment, the Sumitomo HTR ENHANCE LX Performance Passenger is positioned against direct rivals within the same category. Comparing it to a tire in a different category (e.g. summer vs all-season) makes the spec sheet misleading because the design targets are not the same.
The Sumitomo HTR Enhance LX is a great choice for sedans, CUVs, and minivans, thanks to its dependable all-season traction and superior handling qualities. The HTR Enhance LX is designed with a five-rib, all-season tread pattern, multiple steel belts and a nylon cap ply for extra strength and durability, and a reinforced bead apex that helps maintain a stiff sidewall for cornering ability. Features & Benefits Backed by a 90,000 mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty Optimized center area for enhanced road manners Reinforced bead apex boosts sidewall stiffness to increase cornering performance Wide grooves and dense siping provide solid traction in dry, wet, and light winter weather conditions Multi-steel belt and nylon cap ply increase strength and durability for a longer tread life
