First Time "Tires-Easy" Buyer
Review for Sumitomo Encounter HT2 265/70R17 115T BSW
"I was worried, having never purchased tires online before, in making this purchase period. However, the price and overall delivery process was smooth. I was able to track my delivery every step of the way. I have driven on them for a little over a month, in stop and go traffic, in light and heavy rain, as well as a rain/snow mix, and the tires have lived up to their rating. I have not experienced a heavy snow yet but am confident thus far.
I expect to make future tires purchases online through Tires-Easy and will recommend the same for anyone looking to make a tire purchase."
