Sumitomo Encounter AT 265/60R20, All Season, All Terrain tires.

Features and Benefits: All terrain traction; Enhanced controllability; Longer lasting usability; Sumitomo Encounter AT TiresThe Sumitomo Encounter AT is an all terrain, all season tire made for SUVs and light trucks. Sumitomo offers a 60,000 mile treadwear warranty with new tires of this model. The tire promotes excellent all terrain traction. The specialized tread elements and the durable compound elements boost the soft, loose, and uneven grip on versatile terrain surface conditions. These tread elements increase the grip on the terrain surface with ease, upgrading the tire's deep mud and loose terrain forward motion. The tread also keeps the footprint clean at all times. This allows the tire to prevent stone retention by ejecting rocks from the footprint before they can drill into the tread area. It also prevents mud and snow from blocking the surface contact during the tire's performance, optimizing the performing capability. The tread design maintains the terrain and road contact throughout the drive. The better surface contact boosts the steering responsiveness and the driving stability, promoting the driver's better control over the vehicle. In this manner, the tire is quicker and more precise in its response to the driver's commands, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure. The tire's stronger internal structure enables the tire to upgrade the load durability as well. As the tire does not deform under the load and driving pressure, it is able to greatly upgrade the load capacity. The Sumitomo Encounter AT upgrades the length of the usability. The stronger compound elements and the stabilized tread elements work together to increase the tread life. The durable compound elements combat premature wear with wear-resistant rubber materials. The stable footprint ensures even pressure distribution across the tread area. The equally spread out forces of acceleration, cornering and braking avoids irregular wear formations. The slower and even wear along the footprint guarantees a longer-lasting service life. 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.
