Sumitomo reviews by model
Sumitomo Encounter AT - 235/75R15

Key features
- Overall great performance
- Stands firm against adverse weather conditions
- Great tread life performance
Review Summary
The Sumitomo Encounter AT tire is most certainly worth looking into. The Sumitomo brand is a great all-around tire that will fit most people’s needs. Most terrain can be handled decently and its features are nothing to scoff at.
The tire's patterns, edges, and blocks add to its reliability in the long term. They can be great tires but they are limited in their versatility as they will only work for larger vehicles. They also can be a tad noisy at times.
