Sumitomo HTRZ 3 275/40 R19 101Y

Passenger summer tire Sumitomo HTRZ 3 — high-tech tire with a 3rd generation radial cord. This model has the best operational qualities of Sumitomo. The model is designed for use on sports cars, sports coupes and premium class sedans. This tire demonstrates all the technical capabilities of Sumitomo, providing excellent handling at maximum speeds and increased traction on any road surface.

New rubber compound

The rubber compound contains many new components that have improved the operational qualities of the tire. The high silicon content has increased wear resistance. The increased elasticity of the rubber has increased traction with any road surface.

Asymmetric tread pattern

The asymmetric tread pattern provides the tire with excellent road qualities. The outer large side of the tire, the solid central part and the intermediate inner tread ensure excellent handling, maximum stability at high speeds and increased traction on dry road surfaces. The inner part of the Sumitomo HTRZ 3 tire is connected by an additional annular solid tread, which has reduced noise when driving, especially on cars with independent suspension and special adjustments characteristic of a negative camber. Wide and straight annular grooves and rounded, long, transverse grooves quickly remove water from the tread, preventing the aquaplaning effect and increasing traction with a wet road surface.

Reinforced carcass design

This radial cord tire has a high-strength structure consisting of steel, wide tapes that are specially reinforced with spiral-wound polyamide. This increases the strength of the tire, improves handling and improves the behavior of the car at high speeds. The cord and polyester carcass, together with rigid rubber fillers in the sidewall zone, help to combine excellent ride quality with increased handling and maximum lateral stability.

Key features of the Sumitomo HTRZ 3 tire

- excellent traction characteristics are provided by a combination of a new rubber layer and optimally located blocks;
- a minimal percentage of damage was achieved due to the increased strength of the carcass;
- increased directional stability is provided by the optimal arrangement of blocks;
- the minimum aquaplaning effect is achieved due to the use of a new lamella system and special additives in the rubber compound.
