I’ve had these Sumitomo HTR Enhance CX2 tires on my 2019 Volvo XC40 T5 AWD for a few months now, and let me tell ya—they’ve been nothing short of excellent! The ride is so smooth, it feels like I’m gliding down the road, and they handle all kinds of weather like a champ. Rain? No problem. Light snow? Piece of cake. I was a bit worried at first because I don't drive a ton, but these tires have really impressed me. If you’re on the fence, just go for it—these are solid tires that make driving feel safe and enjoyable.

I bought these tires some months ago and now I have about 15,000 miles on them. They are excellent in terms of comfort, my car is super quiet now! They seem to be long lasting. The tires perform great in both, in the wet and in the dry conditions. I  tried them on snow and they do great job too. And I could say there is only one drawback - quite stiff ride. Recommend and would definitely buy them again.
