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.

Features and Benefits:
The Sumitomo Encounter HT2 is a highway terrain, all season tire manufactured for light trucks and SUVs. This model also has some touring, passenger car sizes available. Sumitomo offers a 60,000 mile treadwear warranty with this tire.
The model also improves controllability. The asymmetric tread pattern manages to optimize road contact during the performance. This increases the steering response time and accuracy to the driver's commands, while the structure is secured against driving pressure. It can also upgrade the cornering and braking ability, which gives the driver to have great control over the vehicle. This promotes a safe driving experience.
Great all season performance is guaranteed with this tire. The asymmetric tread pattern can keep road contact all the time. Also, the all season compound maintains flexibility in hot and cold temperatures. These elements increase performance in dry, wet, and winter conditions. The tire can also prevent hydroplaning. Thanks to wide circumferential grooves, which disperse water and slush from the footprint, wet traction is upgraded. These elements enable the tire to safely perform in versatile weather conditions.
The optimal tread pattern and the wear-resistant compound increase the tire's service life. They can prevent irregular and premature wear formations across the tread area. This tread can evenly distribute driving pressure across the tread, while the compound slows the treadwear rate down. This leads to a longer-lasting tread life and usability.
The Sumitomo Encounter HT2 also offers a quiet and comfortable ride. The tread pattern can reduce road and tread noise levels heard in the vehicle's cabin. Additionally, the special rubber compound minimizes road vibrations by absorbing the shock of driving. This combination boosts the tire's overall driving comfort levels.
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.
