Highway-Terrain Tires
What are Highway-Terrain Tires: H/T tires can be thought of as all-season tires for larger vehicles. Most highway-terrain tires have a more aggressive tread pattern than a typical all-season sedan tire but will have a less aggressive tread pattern than an all-terrain tire. This creates a better balance of comfort, fuel efficiency and longer tread life than an all-terrain tire provides.

It features TractionPlus Technology which provides improved traction and durability, better grip on wet roads, best in class wet braking, and quiet road noise (continentaltire.com).
