About the Summit Trail Climber SUV 2

Everyday confidence for every road, every season.

Best forSUV and crossover owners seeking dependable all-season highway performance with a smooth, quiet ride.

The Summit Trail Climber SUV 2 is an all-season tire built specifically for SUVs and crossovers. It delivers dependable year-round performance on paved roads, with a focus on wet-weather safety, a quiet cabin experience, and long-lasting tread life. Backed by a 60,000-mile limited warranty, it suits drivers who want reliable everyday capability without overspending.

The Trail Climber SUV 2 uses a symmetrical tread pattern featuring wide circumferential grooves that channel water away from the contact patch to reduce hydroplaning risk. Shoulder notches and sipes add grip across varying road conditions. A revised footprint geometry improves braking response and resists uneven wear, while Summit's SPPS noise simulation technology tunes out road vibration for a noticeably quieter ride.

Questions about this tire

What does 235/55R18 100V mean?

235 is the tread width in millimeters, 55 means the sidewall is 55% of that width, and R18 is the 18-inch rim it mounts on. 100 is the load index (1,764 lbs per tire), and V is the speed rating (up to 149 mph).

Can the Trail Climber SUV 2 handle off-road terrain?

No — this tire is designed for on-road, highway use. It performs well across everyday paved conditions in all seasons but is not built for trails, gravel, or serious off-road environments. Drivers who regularly venture off-pavement should look at a dedicated all-terrain tire instead.

How well does the Trail Climber SUV 2 manage road noise?

Summit engineered this tire with SPPS noise simulation technology, which is specifically intended to reduce road noise and dampen vibration inside the cabin. Shoppers who prioritize a quiet, comfortable ride should find this tire performs well in that regard for its price class.

What tread life can I expect, and is there a warranty?

The Trail Climber SUV 2 is covered by a 60,000-mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty. The redesigned footprint also helps resist irregular wear patterns, which supports longer, more even tread life over time.

Is this tire suitable for winter driving?

The Trail Climber SUV 2 is an all-season tire with sipes and grooves that provide some capability in light snow and cold weather. However, it does not carry the Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake certification, so it is not rated for severe winter service. Drivers in regions with heavy snowfall or frequent icy roads would be better served by a dedicated winter tire.

Where is the Summit Trail Climber SUV 2 manufactured?

The Trail Climber SUV 2 is produced in either China or Thailand, depending on the specific size and production run. Summit Tires is an American company founded in 1974, with manufacturing sourced internationally to keep costs competitive for value-focused shoppers.

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.
