Sumitomo ST720

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• Enhanced controllability
• Heavy load durability
• Longer lasting tread life

OVERVIEW

The Sumitomo ST720 is a highway terrain, all season tire manufactured for commercial vehicles. It was made to be mounted on the vehicle's all axle positions.

The tire offers great controllability. The symmetric ribbed tread pattern enhances the tire's contact with the road surface, which boosts the steering responsiveness and driving stability. This upgrades the steering response time and accuracy to the driver's commands, while it also stabilizes the structure against the driving pressure affecting the model. The solid shoulder ribs improve the cornering ability. They maintain the tread's shape during cornering and maneuvering which enhances the tire's performance.

The model was manufactured with a reinforced internal structure. This construction features a four steel belt structure which optimizes the tire's shape under the driving and load pressure affecting the model. This prevents the shape's deformation during the drive, which boosts the model's performance. In this manner, the tire is capable of carrying and withstanding heavy loads with ease, improving its load capacity in the process.

The ST720 promotes a lengthened tread life. The damage resistant tire compound avoids punctures, cuts and other damage from harming the tire's casing and shortening its service life. The symmetric ribbed tread's flat footprint ensures even pressure distribution. The equally distributed forces of acceleration, cornering and braking avoid uneven tread wear formations along the tread area. The damage prevention and guaranteed even wear extend the tread life and the tire's usability.
