Linglong 245/65 R17 107T CrossWind HT2 2026

About Linglong CrossWind HT2 245/65 R17 107T

The CrossWind HT2 is aimed at highway and urban SUV driving rather than demanding off-road work. Its tread is designed around water evacuation, dry-road handling and everyday comfort, with the manufacturer describing the CrossWind H/T family as a low-noise urban-road SUV pattern. For a vehicle requiring this exact size, Linglong Tyres offer a practical road-focused alternative to more aggressive all-terrain designs. 1

How the 245/65 R17 Size Behaves

The 65-series profile gives this tyre considerably more sidewall than a low-profile performance SUV fitment. That extra sidewall can help soften the response over road joints, patched asphalt and ordinary urban imperfections. The 245 mm section width also gives the tyre a substantial contact area for straight-line stability. The result is more oriented toward predictable everyday control than rapid steering reactions or sporty cornering.

Five-Rib Highway Tread

The CrossWind HT2 uses a symmetrical, non-directional five-rib tread pattern. Wide circumferential grooves work with lateral grooves to move water away from the footprint, while the continuous ribs maintain substantial rubber contact with the road. This arrangement is particularly appropriate for paved roads and wet-weather highway driving. It is not an open, widely separated tread intended to dig through deep mud, loose sand or technical off-road surfaces. 2

Wet-Road Behaviour and Steering

Water evacuation is one of the clearer design priorities of this pattern. The wide longitudinal channels provide a route for water to leave the footprint, while the five-rib layout helps retain a stable contact area. The official Linglong listing for the related CrossWind H/T 245/65 R17 107T records a 500 treadwear grade, A traction and B temperature rating. These figures provide useful context, although market-specific markings should always be checked on the actual tyre supplied. 3

Comfort for SUV and Highway Use

The 65-series sidewall is well suited to drivers who encounter mixed-quality paved roads. It should provide a less abrupt response to smaller impacts than a shorter-profile tyre, while the highway tread avoids the heavier road noise and harsher tread character commonly associated with aggressive all-terrain patterns. The tyre is still a road-focused SUV product, so drivers seeking exceptionally quiet premium-cabin performance may prefer a higher-tier touring tyre.

Who the CrossWind HT2 Suits

This configuration is a sensible match for an SUV or suitable light-duty vehicle that requires 245/65 R17 107T and spends most of its time commuting, travelling on highways or driving around town. It is less suitable for regular deep-mud, rock or serious trail use. For Dwbtyres customers planning to buy car tyres in UAE, the 2026 Thailand origin is a useful batch detail to verify before fitting. The documented 107T specification corresponds to 975 kg per tyre and 190 km/h, while the available US-market data also lists a 50,000-mile tread-life warranty for this size; warranty applicability should be confirmed for the actual market of purchase. 4
