About the Crosswind HT2

Reliable All-Season Value for Trucks and SUVs

Best forDrivers of light trucks, SUVs, pickups, and vans seeking dependable year-round performance in dry, wet, and light winter conditions.

The Crosswind HT2 is an all-season highway tire built for light trucks, SUVs, pickups, and vans. It delivers dependable dry handling, confident wet-weather traction, and year-round usability in mild to moderate conditions. Backed by a 50,000-mile tread life warranty, the HT2 is a practical, value-oriented choice for drivers who want reliable everyday performance without a premium price tag.

The HT2 uses a symmetrical five-rib tread layout that sharpens steering response and promotes stable dry handling. Lateral grooves channel water out from under the contact patch, while wide circumferential grooves help maintain grip and stability on wet pavement. The symmetrical pattern also allows flexible rotation schedules, supporting even wear across the tire's 50,000-mile warranty period.

Questions about this tire

What does 265/65R18 114T mean?

265 is the tread width in millimeters, 65 means the sidewall is 65% of that width, and R18 is the 18-inch rim it mounts on. 114 is the load index (2,601 lbs per tire), and T is the speed rating (up to 118 mph).

What kind of vehicles is the Crosswind HT2 designed for?

The HT2 is built specifically for light-duty trucks, SUVs, pickups, and vans. It is available in 36 sizes covering 16- to 22-inch rim diameters, making it compatible with a wide range of popular truck and SUV fitments.

How long can I expect Crosswind HT2 tires to last?

Crosswind backs the HT2 with a 50,000-mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty. Achieving that service life depends on keeping up with proper inflation, regular rotations, and routine maintenance — all standard best practices for any tire.

Can the HT2 handle winter driving conditions?

The HT2's all-season compound and tread design handle light winter weather — occasional snow dustings and cold, wet roads — reasonably well. However, the HT2 is not Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake certified, so it is not rated for moderate to severe winter conditions. Drivers in regions with heavy snowfall or persistent ice should consider a dedicated winter tire.

Is the Crosswind HT2 a directional tire, and how should it be rotated?

No, the HT2 uses a symmetrical, non-directional tread pattern. That means it is not restricted to a single rotational direction, giving you the flexibility to use standard or cross-rotation patterns. Taking advantage of that flexibility helps promote even tread wear and extends tire life.

Who manufactures Crosswind tires, and where are they made?

Crosswind is a brand operated by Linglong Tire, a large-scale international tire manufacturer. Most Crosswind tires, including the HT2, are produced in China, though manufacturing locations can vary by production run.

Buying from TFS Wheels

Shipping, returns & guarantees

Authorized Dealer — 100% Brand New Wheels & Tires

TFS Wheels is an authorized dealer for every brand we carry. Every wheel and tire we ship is brand new, unused, and packaged in its original manufacturer's box. We never sell refurbished, demo, or return-stock product. All manufacturer warranties apply and our warehouse is staffed by people who only handle wheels and tires — no in-transit damage, no test-fits, no surprises.

Free Shipping (Lower 48)

Free shipping on every order — wheels, tires, and accessories — to the contiguous United States. No minimum order, no hidden fees.

Standard delivery is 4–7 business days; expedited is 1–4 business days. Orders placed before 1:00 PM ET typically ship the same day. We do not ship internationally or to PO boxes.

Fitment Guarantee

If a wheel or tire marked "Direct Fit" or "Aftermarket Fit" for your vehicle arrives and does not fit as expected, we cover both the restocking fee and return shipping. The same applies if the bolt pattern does not match — provided your vehicle information was submitted at checkout.

To qualify for the guarantee, enter your year, make, model, and submodel before placing the order.

Manufacturer's Warranty

Every wheel and tire is covered by the full manufacturer's warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Coverage terms vary by brand — most cover structural integrity for the life of the wheel and finish for 1 to 2 years from purchase. If you ever have a warranty question, contact us first; we work directly with the manufacturer on your behalf so you don't have to.

Accessories Included with Your Order

When you submit your vehicle information at checkout, the right lug nuts and (if needed) hub-centric rings are automatically added to your cart in the correct sizes — no guessing, no separate ordering.

TPMS sensors are also available in the cart. We program each sensor to your vehicle's exact year, make, model, and submodel before shipping, so they arrive ready to sync with your truck or car the moment they're installed. This typically saves customers the dealer or installer's programming fees, which often run several dozen dollars per wheel.

Returns

Returns are accepted within 30 days of purchase on items in new, unused condition. A 25% restocking fee applies to general (change-of-mind) returns, and the buyer covers return shipping.

The restocking fee and return shipping are waived for incorrect items, transit damage, or fitment issues when vehicle information was provided at checkout. Single wheels, single tires, mounted items, special orders, and accessories (lug nuts, locks, hub-centric rings, TPMS sensors, installation kits) are final sale.
