I have Sumitomo Encounter ATs that I like pretty well. On road manners are great and no complaints off-road. They don't look as "cool" as some of the other ATs but they work just as well.
I got about 30k miles on sumitomos 285/75/16 snow rated, AT. They’ve been solid
I got sumitomo on mine. Quite. Great on all things wet including light snow.
I got Sumitomo HTR A/S P03 tires put on my car last October. I live in Wisconsin and am frequently in NW Wisconsin/MN/SD. They were great for me last winter and are pretty quiet during the summer and solid in the rain. I’ve put over 25k miles on them in a year and still no complaints and limited wear. They were a middle-lower cost option when I bought them on Tire Rack and installed for free at Discount Tire. I’ll probably buy them again. I’ve heard they’re a little soft and wear fast though? That’s not been my experience yet but just what I’ve read.
I have the Sumitomo Encounter AT's on my frontier. Good reasonably priced tire.
I ended up opting for Federal 595RS-RR their cheaper and i like how they perform
The next set of Federal 595 RS-Pro lasted 30k and looked like OP tires.
Chinese snow tires are hit or miss. I had a set of federals for a short while that handled snow great for what they were.
I learned this for myself a long time ago when I had decided to go cheap for once and get some Sumitomo. I could feel the car's handling characteristics changed immediately (it felt like the back was "gliding" in the turns leaving the parking lot, which was probably sidewall flex).
I got federals once because bills were coming all at once. Worst tires i ever had, so noisy, rough on the road and just didn’t feel great. Snow they were actually great surprisingly.
