...I highly value wet weather performance and was satisfied with the performance of the first set...

This is the second set of this tire I have used, although this appears to be a slightly different designation "HT2". I can see no obvious differences between the two sets. I got 60,000 miles on the first set and still did not wear down to the warning bars. I highly value wet weather performance and was satisfied with the performance of the first set, so I did not seriously research an alternate selection. I appreciate the very recent date codes on the tires as I do not put as many miles on my truck as I used to, and I do not like to use tires older than 5 years for expressway speeds with sometimes heavy loads and trailer towing.

...The previous set of tires still had legal tread depth but were getting pretty slick feeling in wet weather. This newer version tire is a exhibits a considerable performance improvement in both wet and dry conditions...

I bought this set of tires to replace the earlier version of the same tire that served me well for about 50,000 miles. The previous set of tires still had legal tread depth but were getting pretty slick feeling in wet weather. This newer version tire is a exhibits a considerable performance improvement in both wet and dry conditions. That is quite a trick as I would have guessed the shallower tread depth of a worn tire would provide better dry performance. All wet or dry, I get crisper response to steering input, more stable under cornering and controllable under braking. Tread wear is not a huge issue for me if a tire works well, but these look like they will go a long way at this time.

The Encounter HT2 delivers strong winter performance with most snow/deep snow scores 8-10. Ice traction holds up well (mostly 7-8), though occasional lower scores suggest variability in extreme ice conditions.

Surprisingly competent in snow (on an AWD CRV), but no surprise that snow tires are better in heavy snow. Good, quiet ride. They don’t squeal when you push hard on dry road. Will buy these again, and will try a set on my Sentra when it’s time for replacement.

...Even without studs, traction on cold icy conditions has been extremely gripping.

These tires are a perfect choice for the average commuter in an SUV type Vehical . My wife has been extremely happy, all seasons of driving have given a great testing for these tires. They have never left her stranded, and they wear beautifully. Even without studs, traction on cold icy conditions has been extremely gripping.

About a thousand miles so far. Good tire, great traction and response on dry and wet roads. Low noise, but can be heard if you shut off the radio. Worth the lower price compared to American named companies.

...Comfort is great, mileage is off the chart...

In stock, received in just a few days, plus they were on sale. Water on road, they cut right thru with no hydroplaning. Light snow, my vehicle has electronic AWD. You kick it in and the front wheels dig in, the front rises, and you take off. Comfort is great, mileage is off the chart. These replaced the same tire only an earlier version. Old ones had 87,500 miles and not to wear bars, but they were 6 years old so I replaced them. For highway/city driving this tire is the best.

...Comfort is great, noise is low, handling is great, no problem on light snow, never felt like hydroplaning was a risk...

These tires have been on my 4Runner for over 7 years and over 60k miles, they seem to last forever. Comfort is great, noise is low, handling is great, no problem on light snow, never felt like hydroplaning was a risk, lateral cornering on wet on spirited driving has made the rear slip slightly but recovers quickly and never felt like actually losing control. For the price these tires are fantastic. I bought them because I wanted to save money and at the time felt like taking a gamble. But now that the time to replace them is approaching I am seriously considering getting another set. They are cheap compared to others, but they are definitely not low quality or low performing by any means.

Breaking Down Tire Performance Categories - 2024 Special Test With Winter Update(26:05)

We understand that tire performance categories can be confusing. You want an all-season tire, but there are several all-season categories; how do you know which one is right for you? You want a summer tire, but again, which summer category? In this special demonstration, we took six all-season tires from three all-season categories and three summer tires from two summer categories to lay it out for you. Category-leading tires from the Standard Touring All-Season, Grand Touring All-Season, Ultra High Performance All-Season, Max Performance Summer, and Extreme Performance Summer categories are tested so you can see exactly what each "step up" gets you as a driver and what trade-offs were made along the way.
