Excellent treadwear and condition
Review for Sumitomo Encounter AT 265/70R16 112T BSW originally posted on giga-tires.com
"I ordered tires here due to excellent pricing. The tires I ordered came as expected and they ride great. Not a lot of noise and quieter than most tread equivalents. The look on the 4tunner everyone likes and I made them recommendations for this tire based on my experience. I would definitely buy these again I have driven around 600 miles on them so far."
