Sumitomo HTR ZII

The Sumitomo HTRZ II is an Ultra High Performance Summer radial designed to blend appearance, performance and comfort. This combination makes the HTRZ II appropriate for many of today's sporty cars because it provides a unique look with a size lineup of 17" and 18" rim diameter "Plus Two" and "Plus Three" fitments. Like all summer tires, the HTRZ II is not intended to be driven in near-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice.

On the outside the HTRZ II's tread pattern features extra wide, arched tread blocks to enhance dry road traction and handling. The blocks vary in size and shape to help minimize noise levels and are separated by Multi Direction Water Channels to help increase wet traction and resist hydroplaning. On the inside the HTRZ II features two steel belts with spirally-wrapped Jointless Nylon Band reinforcement for high-speed durability and predictable handling while minimizing weight and improving ride uniformity. The lower sidewall features Single Strand Beads for improved wheel fit and Wheel Flange Guards to help protect alloy wheels from curb damage.
