Bought Sumitomo HTR WX2 tires for my Audi A4 Avant Quattro. I couldn't be happier with the tires. It felt like I was driving a new car. The traction on wet and dry roads is excellent. Drove through some extreme rain storms and there was no hydroplaning at all. They are also the quietest tires I've ever owned, which is important to me. I'd rate these tires as the Best Buy on the market today.

Handle very well and drive so smooth. Once I put armor all on them they look great.

Finding a tire that performs year-round is a must, as dry, wet, and light winter weather conditions all present different challenges for drivers and their tires. Fortunately, all-season tires are built with these drivers in mind, and the HTR Enhance WX2 from Sumitomo utilizes increased sipes and cross-designed chamfer to increase traction and grip in wet and light winter weather conditions.
