Found a decent deal on Sumitomo Encounter A/Ts and was thinking of getting a set for my 97 Montero in 285/75/R16.
So for those that have/had these tires….. How are they on desert sand/dirt and any issues with balancing?
This is my project vehicle so I’m sticking to about 150.00 per tire budget.
Thanks!

Sumitomo is the company that makes Falken tires, so expect similar quality to these
