HTR Z II Tires

Sumitomo HTR Z II Tires

The Sumitomo HTR Z II is a high performance, summer tire made for passenger vehicles. The durable summer compound and the directional tread design enhances the dry and wet weather road gripping ability. The compound prevents heat build-up, while the tread pattern upgrades the grip on the road surface. The angled lateral grooves prevent hydroplaning with the water dispersing ability.

The high performance compound and the reinforced construction enable the tire’s high speed durability. The special compound blend features ultra micro carbon and silica rubber materials to keep the rubber flexibility and to prevent heat build-up during its performance. The Jointless Nylon Band keeps the ideal tire shape under the high speed pressure, enabling the tire to safely perform at its utmost high speed capability.

The Sumitomo HTR Z II upgrades its controllability. The directional tread design features a flat footprint with an optimal groove placement that maintains the tire’s close and constant surface contact. This allows the tire to increase the high speed steering responsiveness and driving stability. In this manner, the steering is faster and more precise in its response to the driver’s commands, while the structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting the model. The shoulder tread area and the stronger construction work together to increase the cornering and maneuvering ability. They prevent the tire’s deformation and enhance the traction to boost the cornering safety.
