The Sumitomo Encounter AT2 255/65R17 is an all-terrain tire, designed for pickup truck, crossover, and SUV drivers who prioritize off-road capability and year-round traction in everyday driving. Its tread design and compound focus on delivering confident performance across multiple surfaces while maintaining reasonable on-road comfort and noise control.
The Encounter AT2 features a rugged all-terrain compound molded into a 4-rib symmetric, high-void tread pattern that balances durability with versatility. Variable-width shoulder lugs help clear debris for improved off-road grip, while circumferential grooves evacuate water from the contact patch. The tire includes Winter-focused 3D Wave Sipes and meets severe snow service requirements, earning the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol for light snow traction. With 7 driver evaluations providing real-world feedback, the tire shows practical performance across its intended use cases.
Compared to highway-focused tires, it adds off-road traction while maintaining reasonable on-road manners. Overall, it's a solid choice for truck and SUV owners used primarily for mixed driving conditions requiring both pavement comfort and off-road capability.
