Sumitomo Encounter HT Tires
The Sumitomo Encounter HT is a highway, all season tire manufactured for SUVs and light trucks. It has a 60,000 mile warranty. The continuous center rib and the wide shoulder tread blocks enhance the handling. They ensure constant road contact, which enhances the steering responsiveness 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.
The special internal construction features two steel belts and a two or three-ply polyester casing. These enhance the 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 offers excellent all weather traction. The tire’s five-rib symmetric tread design and all season tire compound improve the dry, wet and winter weather road gripping capability by maintaining a constant road contact. The four wide circumferential and numerous lateral grooves enhance the tire’s water and slush evacuating ability, which prevents dangerous hydroplaning situations. The model can be used with confidence even in winter weather temperatures, as it does not lose its traction in the colder weather conditions and the zigzag siping detail firmly grips onto the snow and ice-covered roads.
