Sumitomo Encounter HT – 285/60 R18 116V TL is a highway-terrain SUV tyre engineered for drivers who require a blend of ride comfort, durability, and confident high-speed on-road performance. The tyre employs a symmetric tread pattern that maintains consistent road contact, promoting even tread wear and predictable steering response for larger, heavier SUVs. Wide circumferential grooves enhance water evacuation, improving wet-road traction and reducing aquaplaning risk. The 60-profile sidewall offers a balance between ride comfort and handling stability, while the robust construction supports higher vehicle loads. With a 116V load and speed rating, the Encounter HT is suitable for powerful SUVs used primarily on paved roads and highways.
