The Sumitomo Encounter HT2 is the updated highway-terrain option listed under the 4×4 category on Sumitomo Malaysia’s tyre finder. Tire Rack describes it as a highway all-season tyre for pickups, SUVs, crossovers, and full-sized vans, built to provide dependable year-round traction with a smooth and quiet ride.
