OVERVIEW
The Sumitomo Touring LS T is a touring all season tire manufactured for passenger vehicles. It is the T speed rated version of the Touring LS model. Sumitomo offers a 65,000 mile treadwear warranty with this model.
The tread design and all season compound work together to ensure a safer all weather traction. The special computer optimized symmetric tread design and the carbon black compound manage to firmly grip the dry, wet and winter weather road surface. The tread's individual and interconnecting tread blocks and the compound's all weather flexibility promote a first-rate all weather performance. The tire also prevents hydroplaning as the tread's circumferential and unique curved lateral grooves prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from below the tire's footprint. The result is a secure year round performance.
The tire guarantees a longer lasting tread life. The unique symmetric tread design and the constant tire shape enable the tire to evenly distribute the driving pressure along the tread area by optimizing the tire's road contact. The maintained road contact equally spreads the forces of acceleration, cornering and braking, managing to avoid irregular tread wear formations across the tire's surface. The lengthened even tread life guarantees an extended usability and longevity.
The model promotes better all weather controllability. The internal structure and the stiffer sidewalls prevent the deformation of the tire's structure, while the center rib keeps the tire's road contact at all times. This increases the steering responsiveness and accuracy and stabilizes the tire against the driving pressure. The unique and independent shoulder tread block sequence heightens the number of biting edges to firmly grip the road surface while cornering and maneuvering. The boosted controllability and better cornering capability ensure a safer driving experience.
The Touring LS T provides a comfortable drive. The Jointless Nylon Band and the polyester casing work together to prevent the deformation of the tire's shape. The maintained optimal shape closely follows the road surface and absorbs the shock of driving. In this manner, the tire prevents the road vibrations from being felt in the vehicle's cabin, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable year round performance.
