Sumitomo Encounter AT Tires

[JoMa]

I'm looking at getting new tires for my F350. Does anyone have experience with Sumitomo Encounter AT tires? They seem to get pretty good reviews on-line, but I don’t have any direct experience with them or know anyone with them. From what I understand, Sumitomo owns Falken. The Encounter AT's look similar to the Wildpeak AT4W, however, they are quite a bit cheaper.

In the past, I have had Cooper AT3, Copper STMaxx, BFG KO2, General Grabber, Yokohama Geolanders, etc., so I have experience with several different tires. So, I'm primarily interested in hearing about the Sumitomo's.

Thanks!

I got some Sumitomo ice edge winter tires last year on my Toyota highlander in Western colorado. They have been great. Good value and great performance from them. Hope this helps.
