Sumitomo Encounter AT
The Sumitomo Encounter AT is an all terrain, all weather tire manufactured for SUVs and light trucks. Sumitomo offers a 60,000 mile treadwear warranty. It is winter weather certified with the 3PMS symbol.
The tread pattern boosts the dry, wet and winter weather road gripping ability, while the circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning. The special tread design with the independent tread blocks improves the soft, loose and uneven terrain performance. The internal structure prevents the shape's deformation and ensures excellent performance on and off-road. The maintained road contact of the center tread blocks improves the steering responsiveness and driving stability. The Encounter AT offers a longer lasting tread life.
