OVERVIEW
The Sumitomo HTR Z II is a high performance, summer tire manufactured for passenger vehicles.
The tire upgrades the summer weather traction. The combined compound and the directional tread design boost the dry and wet weather grip. The ultra-micro carbon technology and the silica enhancement of the compound actively prevents heat build-up along the tread area. The high rubber-to-road ratio of the tread ensures the model's grip on the summer weather road surface, while the single circumferential and numerous angled shoulder grooves disperse water from the footprint to prevent hydroplaning. This guarantees a safer summer weather performing ability.
The ideal tread design and the durable construction ensure the model's secure high speed controllability. The constant surface contact of the optimally smooth tread manages to increase the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. In this manner, the steering becomes 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 heat resistant compound and the stronger steel belt and Jointless Nylon Band internal structure work together to ensure the model's high speed performing ability. They ease the pressure off the tire and maintain the ideal tire shape under the high speed pressure, enhancing high speed driving safety levels.
The Jointless Nylon Band construction also enables the high driving comfort levels. This structure keeps the optimal tire shape throughout the tire's performance. In this manner, the model is able to maintain close surface contact at all times. This enables the tire to absorb the shock of driving, significantly lowering the road vibrations felt in the vehicle's cabin. This prevents road disturbances from ruining the passengers' driving enjoyment, which results in a comfortable driving experience.
The HTR Z II protects the rims. The special Single Strand Bead construction optimizes the tire's fit on the wheels. The Wheel Flange Guards protects the rims during the drive. This design actively guards the wheels from accidental curb damage, promoting a secure drive.
