Summer tire Sumitomo HTR Sport H / P (Japan) is specially designed for use on sports cars, small trucks, SUVs, and cars. It combines all the necessary qualities, providing excellent handling, excellent cross-country ability, and maximum protection from damage. This was achieved through the use of innovative technologies for which this manufacturer is famous. In addition to making tires, the company spends a lot of time developing new technologies and components that will increase the performance of new models.
SUMITOMO TECHNOLOGY
- The twin reversible sidewall designs smoothen for a clean and shiny appearance and the serration style for a more decorative look
- The 2 in 1 shoulder block pattern provide improved lateral grip, by reducing uneven wear, maximizing wet grip, and stability
A unique system of lamellas and channels
Any tire must have a quick self-cleaning and quickly remove water from the contact area. To this end, the company's specialists have developed a new system of sipes, consisting of sipes of various shapes and depths, which ensure rapid removal of water from the tread, preventing the possible effect of aquaplaning. Four deep channels increase the tire self-cleaning and provide excellent directional stability.
High strength frame
To increase the strength, a reinforced cord and a special steel ring were used when creating the frame. Due to this, the Sumitomo HTR Sport H / P tire perfectly copes with the increased loads that appear when driving at high speeds or when driving on poor-quality road surfaces. Also, the tire is characterized by maximum protection against possible damage and cuts.
Optimal tread block arrangement
When developing the tread design, the method of computer simulation was used, which made it possible to select the optimal arrangement of the blocks. Blocks located in the central part of the tread contributed to increased directional stability and quick feedback. Massive shoulder blocksincrease stability when cornering and protect tires from lateral damage.
Sumitomo HTR Sport H / P all-season tires are designed for year-round use not only on SUVs, pickup trucks, and light trucks but also on sports cars.
Advantages of using the Sumitomo XTP Sport X / P tire:
- The tread with an aggressive counter-directional pattern gives the car additional notes of aggressiveness, speed, and power.
- Japanese All Season technology has created a truly versatile tread pattern that demonstrates excellent dynamic performance on winter and summer asphalt.
- The central stiffener is made using racing slick technology, which allows for sporty acceleration dynamics.
- Numerous tread sipes provide high traction characteristics of the Sumitomo HTR Sport H / P tire on very difficult track sections: wet asphalt, mud-snow, or water-ice mixture, etc.
- A well-thought-out tread pattern effectively pushes out of the contact patch not only large volumes of water, but also dirt, melted snow, and a water-ice mixture. As a result, the car demonstrates high cross-country ability on the winter road and off-road.
- The symmetrically opposed tread pattern significantly reduces the braking distance of the vehicle, even if it is a heavy SUV or city truck, and also prevents lateral movement of the vehicle during heavy braking at high speed.
- The "Protective Bump" technology is able to effectively protect light-alloy and chrome-plated wheels from accidental damage and scratches.
Sumitomo XTR Sport X / P tires have an increased load for efficient operation on pickup trucks and small city trucks. The increased load effectively prevents deformation of the tread due to the load and dynamic load that the vehicle experiences while driving.
