Sumitomo HTR Z Tires
The Sumitomo HTR Z is a high performance, summer tire made for passenger vehicles. The tread design and summer compound improve the dry and wet weather road gripping ability. The compound avoids heat build-up, while the tread elements increase the grip on the road surface. The groove placement upgrades the hydroplaning resistance. The tire is not suited for winter performance.
The ideal directional tread design and the reinforced internal structure work together to enhance the high speed durability. The strengthened Jointless Nylon Band structure maintains the ideal tire shape under the high speed pressure affecting the model. This combination ensures the tire’s high speed durability by preventing its deformation under the pressure during its high speed performance.
The Sumitomo HTR Z upgrades the controllability. The directional tread design features a continuous center rib that keeps the surface contact throughout the drive. This upgrades the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. The structure is stabilized against the driving pressure across the tread area, while the steering becomes faster and more precise in its response to the driver’s commands. The shoulder tread block placement upgrades the cornering and maneuvering ability. These blocks boost the number of biting edges gripping the road surface during the model’s maneuvering. As a result, the tire guarantees the driver’s control over the vehicle in versatile weather conditions.
