It delivers a balanced mix of wet-weather traction, stable highway handling, and everyday ride comfort, all backed by a 60,000-mile limited tread life warranty — making it a practical, value-oriented choice for daily drivers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ultramax AS 2 uses a symmetrical tread layout with a continuous center rib and angled sipes to promote straight-line stability and consistent road contact. Fully siped inner tread blocks accelerate water evacuation to resist hydroplaning and sharpen wet grip. A variable-pitch tread arrangement staggers block sequences to break up resonance frequencies, keeping cabin noise noticeably low across a range of speeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e60,000-mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSymmetrical tread design suits passenger cars, CUVs, and SUVs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully siped inner blocks channel water away to improve wet grip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContinuous center rib with angled sipes enhances straight-line stability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable-pitch tread pattern reduces road noise for a quieter ride\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e44 sizes available spanning 15-inch to 19-inch rim diameters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePerformance Profile\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeason Coverage:\u003c\/strong\u003e All-Season Touring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProjected Longevity:\u003c\/strong\u003e UTQG treadwear 420 · 60,000-mile manufacturer tread-life warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTraction Grade:\u003c\/strong\u003e A (UTQG wet traction)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature Grade:\u003c\/strong\u003e A (UTQG heat resistance)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout Summit Tires\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEstablished in 1974, Summit is an American tire brand built around delivering accessible performance across a broad spectrum of driving needs. Operating under the Tire Alliance Group, the brand has developed a portfolio that spans roughly 90 percent of the U.S. market, covering everything from standard passenger vehicles to trailer applications. Summit's engineering approach emphasizes practical tread designs and an extensive size selection, giving everyday drivers a reliable option without sacrificing capability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSummit organizes its offerings into focused product families suited to distinct use cases. The Ultramax lineup is designed to deliver consistent performance across all four seasons, while the Trail Climber series is built to handle demanding off-road and rugged terrain conditions. Rounding out the range, the Hi-Road ST line addresses the specific load and durability requirements of specialty trailer applications, making Summit a versatile choice for a wide variety of vehicles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does 195\/55R1687H mean?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e195 is the tread width in millimeters, 55 means the sidewall is 55% of that width, and R16 is the 16-inch rim it mounts on. 87 is the load index (1,201 lbs per tire), and H is the speed rating (up to 130 mph).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho makes the Summit Ultramax AS 2?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Summit Ultramax AS 2 is marketed in North America by TBC Brands under the Summit Tires label, a brand with roots going back to 1974. Production has been sourced from facilities in locations including Qingdao, China, and Thailand, though manufacturing origin can vary by size and production run.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow well does the Ultramax AS 2 handle wet roads?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe tire's fully siped inner tread blocks and circumferential grooves work together to move water out from under the contact patch quickly, reducing hydroplaning risk and maintaining grip on wet pavement. For typical rain and light standing water, most drivers should find the wet performance solid for an all-season tire in this price range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Ultramax AS 2 a good choice for winter driving?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt handles light winter conditions — a dusting of snow or cold, dry pavement — reasonably well, as expected from an all-season tire. However, it does not carry the Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) certification, so it is not rated for severe snow service. Drivers who regularly face heavy snowfall, deep accumulation, or significant ice should consider a dedicated winter tire instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long can I expect the Ultramax AS 2 to last?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSummit backs this tire with a 60,000-mile limited tread life warranty. Reaching or exceeding that figure depends on maintaining proper inflation, keeping wheels aligned, and rotating tires on the recommended schedule. Under normal driving conditions with routine maintenance, the warranty provides a solid baseline expectation for tread longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Ultramax AS 2 a noisy tire on the highway?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNoise is managed through a variable-pitch tread pattern that offsets block sizes to prevent sound waves from amplifying into a consistent hum. The result is a noticeably quieter ride compared to tires without this design feature. While no all-season tire is completely silent, the Ultramax AS 2 is engineered with everyday comfort in mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I get the full manufacturer warranty buying from TFS Wheels?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes.
