Sumitomo Encounter AT All Weather

hi all. new subscriber here. this interested me bc i need new rears for my Sierra 3500HD pickup. i wanted Toyo hiway tread, around $650 installed. but the Goodyear Wranglers i bought in 2019 are dry rotted (cracked) on sidewalls bc of the hi heat in South Carolina. i only drive 5k miles per year so am i wasting money on Toyo or Michelin? or would cheaper tires just have a “cheaper” compound that would decay even faster? thoughts? thank you!

Sumitomo makes good H/T tire.
Firestone is another decent choice.

I just had my Sumitomo encounter AT tires installed yesterday, I'm running them on my Ram 2500 with the 5.9, so far I like them a lot.
In the past I've run many brands of tires on this truck and the best to date were the at3w's. I expect these to do equally well and they are just about half the cost.

there is only one tire dealer near me that sells Sumitomos. a set of two for my rear tires will only be $100 less than Michelin Agilis. for that diff i might go for the Michelins. i had Michelins on my 3500 cargo van in an earlier life. ; )
