About the Summit Ultramax 4S

Year-Round Confidence, Built for Every Driver

Best forDrivers of passenger cars, CUVs, SUVs, and light trucks who need reliable all-weather traction and a comfortable ride across all four seasons.

The Summit Ultramax 4S is an all-weather tire built for passenger cars, CUVs, SUVs, and light trucks. Carrying Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake certification, it handles everything from dry summer roads to moderate winter conditions. Backed by a 60,000-mile tread life warranty, it targets drivers who want year-round capability, a comfortable ride, and dependable handling without sacrificing value.

An asymmetrical tread pattern delivers precise steering response, stable cornering, and confident handling across changing road conditions. Interlocked 3D sipes work alongside an optimized rubber compound to promote even wear and extend tread life. The same compound and tread geometry are tuned to reduce road noise and smooth out ride quality, making everyday driving noticeably more comfortable.

Questions about this tire

What does 215/55R17XL 98V mean?

215 is the tread width in millimeters, 55 means the sidewall is 55% of that width, and R17 is the 17-inch rim it mounts on. 98 is the load index (1,653 lbs per tire), and V is the speed rating (up to 149 mph).

Is the Ultramax 4S a true all-weather tire, or is it just an all-season tire?

The Ultramax 4S is a genuine all-weather tire carrying the Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) certification, which means it has met industry standards for severe snow traction. That sets it apart from standard all-season tires, which are not required to meet that benchmark. It is designed to handle year-round driving including moderate winter conditions.

Can this tire fully replace a dedicated winter tire?

The Ultramax 4S handles moderate winter weather well thanks to its 3PMSF certification and 3D siping. However, a dedicated winter tire with a softer cold-weather compound will still outperform it in extreme ice or deep, heavy snow. If you live in a region with severe winters, a seasonal winter tire swap remains the safest option.

What kind of mileage warranty does the Ultramax 4S carry?

Summit backs the Ultramax 4S with a 60,000-mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty. As with any treadwear warranty, actual results depend on proper inflation, rotation intervals, alignment, and driving habits.

What vehicles is the Ultramax 4S compatible with?

It is designed for passenger cars, crossovers, SUVs, and light trucks. TFS Wheels stocks 48 sizes spanning 15-inch through 20-inch rim diameters, so fitment options are broad across a wide range of makes and models.

How does the asymmetrical tread pattern benefit everyday driving?

The asymmetrical design dedicates different tread zones to specific tasks — outboard blocks focus on cornering grip and stability while inboard elements manage water evacuation and wet traction. The result is more responsive steering feel and confident handling across both dry and wet road surfaces.

Buying from TFS Wheels

Shipping, returns & guarantees

Authorized Dealer — 100% Brand New Wheels & Tires

TFS Wheels is an authorized dealer for every brand we carry. Every wheel and tire we ship is brand new, unused, and packaged in its original manufacturer's box. We never sell refurbished, demo, or return-stock product. All manufacturer warranties apply and our warehouse is staffed by people who only handle wheels and tires — no in-transit damage, no test-fits, no surprises.

Free Shipping (Lower 48)

Free shipping on every order — wheels, tires, and accessories — to the contiguous United States. No minimum order, no hidden fees.

Standard delivery is 4–7 business days; expedited is 1–4 business days. Orders placed before 1:00 PM ET typically ship the same day. We do not ship internationally or to PO boxes.

Fitment Guarantee

If a wheel or tire marked "Direct Fit" or "Aftermarket Fit" for your vehicle arrives and does not fit as expected, we cover both the restocking fee and return shipping. The same applies if the bolt pattern does not match — provided your vehicle information was submitted at checkout.

To qualify for the guarantee, enter your year, make, model, and submodel before placing the order.

Manufacturer's Warranty

Every wheel and tire is covered by the full manufacturer's warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Coverage terms vary by brand — most cover structural integrity for the life of the wheel and finish for 1 to 2 years from purchase. If you ever have a warranty question, contact us first; we work directly with the manufacturer on your behalf so you don't have to.

Accessories Included with Your Order

When you submit your vehicle information at checkout, the right lug nuts and (if needed) hub-centric rings are automatically added to your cart in the correct sizes — no guessing, no separate ordering.

TPMS sensors are also available in the cart. We program each sensor to your vehicle's exact year, make, model, and submodel before shipping, so they arrive ready to sync with your truck or car the moment they're installed. This typically saves customers the dealer or installer's programming fees, which often run several dozen dollars per wheel.

Returns

Returns are accepted within 30 days of purchase on items in new, unused condition. A 25% restocking fee applies to general (change-of-mind) returns, and the buyer covers return shipping.

The restocking fee and return shipping are waived for incorrect items, transit damage, or fitment issues when vehicle information was provided at checkout. Single wheels, single tires, mounted items, special orders, and accessories (lug nuts, locks, hub-centric rings, TPMS sensors, installation kits) are final sale.
