The Summer tire Sumitomo HTR Sport H/P (Japan) is specifically designed for use on sports cars, small trucks, SUVs, and passenger cars. It combines all the necessary qualities, providing excellent handling, good traction, and maximum protection against damage. This was achieved through the use of innovative technologies that this manufacturer is renowned for. In addition to tire production, the company spends a lot of time developing new technologies and components that allow increasing the operational characteristics of new models.
Unique system of lamellas and channels
Any tire must have quick self-cleaning and quickly remove water from the contact zone. To do this, the company's specialists have developed a new system of lamellas consisting of lamellas of different shapes and depths, which provide fast water removal from the tread, preventing possible aquaplaning. Four deep channels improve the tire's self-cleaning and provide excellent directional stability.
High-strength frame
To increase the strength when creating the frame, a reinforced cord and a special steel ring were used. Due to this, the Sumitomo HTR Sport H/P tire perfectly withstands increased loads that occur when moving at high speeds or when driving on poor road surfaces. The tire also has maximum protection against possible damage and cuts.
Optimal arrangement of tread blocks
When developing the tread design, a computer modeling method was used, which made it possible to select the optimal arrangement of blocks. The blocks located in the central part of the tread contribute to increased directional stability and quick feedback. Massive blocks in the shoulder area increase stability when cornering and protect the tires from lateral damage.
