All-season tire Sumitomo HTR H4 for passenger cars is designed with consideration of specific "European" winters in areas where the presence of stable snow cover is a rare occurrence. It is characterized by stable traction on wet and snowy surfaces, increased accuracy in handling, acoustic comfort, and fuel efficiency.
The tread pattern is rich in elongated high edges formed by numerous blocks. This allows for better implementation of traction and braking effort on snowy surfaces. In such conditions, wide drainage grooves allow for intense removal of water and its heavy mixture with snow from the contact patch. Efficiency on dry surfaces is ensured by the large size of the blocks and the rigidity of the solid double rib in the middle. Deformation-resistant elements increase the stability of the trajectory at high speeds and provide reliable traction and accuracy in handling when maneuvering.
Key features of Sumitomo HTR H4
- increased traction on wet and snowy surfaces, thanks to the large length and height of the transverse edges of the blocks;
- a rigid double rib in the middle and large blocks on the edges of the tread ensure reliability in handling during dynamic maneuvering;
- a rubber compound with a high content of "silica" retains elasticity at negative temperatures.
