Sumitomo

Sumitomo is a Japanese manufacturer with deeper roots and more technical capability than its modest market presence in North America might suggest. As the parent company of Falken Tires, Sumitomo has the engineering credibility to back up its consumer lineup — and when I review their tires, that quality shows up consistently.

The HTR A/S P02 is the standout in the lineup for me — a capable all-season performance tire for sport sedans and coupes that delivers confident dry and wet handling at a price point well below European performance brands. The HTR Sport is a strong choice for enthusiasts who want more from their daily tire. For SUV and light truck drivers, the Encounter AT delivers reliable all-terrain performance with solid on-road manners. The Encounter HT covers highway terrain duty dependably for drivers who primarily stay on pavement.

Sumitomo doesn’t get talked about as much as it deserves. The engineering behind the brand is real, and the value proposition is strong. Browse the reviews below to see how each model stacks up for your vehicle and driving style.
