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.

Review Summary

The Sumitomo Touring Plus LST is a well-rounded all-season tire that provides a comfortable and quiet ride. While it may be a good option for some drivers, there are better options that live up to the all-season title that perform better in all weather conditions.
