Sumitomo Encounter AT2 265/70R18 116T All-Season Tire

Setting a new standard for all-season drivability and all-terrain durability, the Sumitomo Encounter AT2 265/70R18 116T is a go-anywhere, do-anything all-terrain tire for CUVs, SUVs, and pickups. Ride stability and protection against irregular wear come from a non-directional, 4-rib tread design, and deep circumferential grooves boost wet grip while providing superior wear life. The optimized tread pattern also stabilizes handling and steering response for a smooth, quiet ride. Off-road, variable-width shoulder lugs clear out rocks, sand, and other debris for superior grip, while 3D wave sipes add traction and performance in snow, mud, and other soft surfaces. Its Severe Snow Certification means reliable winter performance in heavy snow. Under the tread, a jointless nylon cap ply evens out load distribution for smooth handling, and wide, stiff steel belts add tread stiffness for responsive handling. A high-tension casing ply balances stability and comfort during high-speed travel, and a hard bead apex reinforces the sidewall and casing for dependable towing and hauling.
