The Sumitomo (Su mi to' mo) HTR+ is an
Ultra High Performance All-Season radial that was developed to meet
the year-round driving needs of sports car, coupe & sedan drivers
by blending dry & wet road performance with light snow & slush
traction. The HTR+ radial combines Sumitomo’s high-tech, ultra high
performance materials & methods with their latest All-Season
technology. The Sumitomo HTR+
radial’s all-season tread compound is molded into a pattern that
blends performance with year-round traction. Independent shoulder
& intermediate tread blocks enhance dry cornering & stability,
while the tread's four, wide circumferential & curvilinear grooves
combine to enhance wet traction & reduce the risk of hydroplaning.
The HTR+ radial’s “Reverse Pattern Siping” adds strategically
located biting edges in the tread pattern to increase light snow
traction. Internally, every HTR+ radial’s twin steel belts are
reinforced by JointLess B& (JLB) technology which uses
spirally-wound nylon reinforcement to provide long-term integrity
under high speed conditions while it reduces weight & helps
provide more uniform ride quality.
Sumitomo HTR+ radials feature subtle
black letter styling & are available in 50-, 45- & 40-series;
W-speed rated sizes for 16" to 18" wheel diameters (205/40R16
reinforced size is H-speed rated).
