Description:
|
The Sumitomo (Su mi to' mo) HTR+ is an Ultra High Performance All-Season radial that was developed to meet the year-round driving needs of sports car, coupe and sedan drivers by blending dry and wet road performance with light snow and slush traction. The HTR+ radial combines Sumitomo’s high-tech, ultra high performance materials and methods with their latest All-Season technology.
The Sumitomo HTR+ radial’s all-season tread compound is molded into a pattern that blends performance with year-round traction. Independent shoulder and intermediate tread blocks enhance dry cornering and stability, while the tread's four, wide circumferential and curvilinear grooves combine to enhance wet traction and reduce the risk of hydroplaning. The HTR+ radial’s “Reverse Pattern Siping” adds strategically located biting edges in the tread pattern to increase light snow traction. Internally, every HTR+ radial’s twin steel belts are reinforced by JointLess Band (JLB) technology which uses spirally-wound nylon reinforcement to provide long-term integrity under high speed conditions while it reduces weight and helps provide more uniform ride quality

Need to be inflated more than suggested pressure and supposed poor tread life
|

I have had these tires on with stock rims and they have been perfect so far. I did slide in heavy heavy salt/gravel but I think it was simply due to poor conditions. Had them installed on 12/23/09 and before the end of the weekend they saw all weather conditions except for heavy/deep snow. My driveway is about 500' long and has been solid ice and they havent lost traction once. Drove home without even noticing there was a half inch of ice on the ground. I purchased these on tirerack.com for 74 per tire on a closeout price and they are definitely worth every penny. I have been told though that they usually need to be replaced every 25K but for under 300 a set I can deal with that.
