Attention! Due to the size of the tires, Packages might be SEPARATED in the courier facility and not be DELIVERED on the SAME DAY, even though we do ship them together. Tracking information can be checked by logging on to the courier website with the master tracking number you will receive via email. For example, you can receive 3 tires in one day and the 4th one the next day or the day after, or one tire in one day and the second one day after. We understand that this is a big inconvenience for our buyers, however, this is ABSOLUTELY out of our control.
Features and Benefits:
The Sumitomo Encounter HT is a touring and highway terrain, all season tire made to be mounted on passenger vehicles, SUVs and light truck. It comes with a 60,000 mile warranty.
The tire offers excellent all weather traction with the five-rib symmetric tread design that maintains constant road contact. The four wide circumferential and numerous lateral grooves enhance the tire's water evacuating ability, which prevents dangerous hydroplaning situations. The model can be used with confidence even in winter weather, as it does not lose its traction in the colder temperatures and the zigzag siping detail firmly grips onto the snow and ice-covered roads.
The model's special internal construction features two steel belts and a two or three-ply polyester casing. These enhance the tire's performing ability by maintaining the optimal tire shape. The tire does not deform under the driving pressure affecting it, which boosts the driving stability, promotes excellent durability and improves the driving comfort levels. The tire closely follows the road surface, which decreases the road vibrations felt in the vehicle's cabin.
The Sumitomo Encounter HT's continuous center rib and the wide shoulder tread blocks enhance the driving stability and handling. They ensure constant road contact, which enhances the steering responsiveness and accuracy and the driving stability. The steering is quick and accurate in its response to the driver's commands, which allows them to confidently control the tire in all weather.
Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
