About SUMITOMO Tires

Sumitomo Rubber Industries was founded in 1909 in Kobe, Japan, as part of the massive Sumitomo Group conglomerate that traces its origins back more than 400 years. The company is one of the largest tire manufacturers in the world, and in addition to its own Sumitomo-branded tires, it is the parent company of Falken Tires and Dunlop Tires in certain markets. Sumitomo's tires sold under their own name in North America are positioned in the value segment.

Sumitomo-branded tires cover passenger, touring, performance, and light truck segments. The HTR series handles performance applications, while the Encounter line serves the all-terrain and highway truck market. Drivers who shop for Sumitomo tires often discover a well-kept secret: these tires deliver reliable performance and reasonable tread life at prices well below comparable offerings from premium brands. Authorized dealers ship Sumitomo tires across the country, providing an accessible option for everyday drivers.

Backed by the engineering capabilities of one of Japan's largest rubber companies, Sumitomo-branded tires offer a strong price-to-performance ratio. The brand quietly serves millions of drivers who prefer to spend wisely without sacrificing fundamental safety and performance.
