The asymmetric tread design features a semi-continuous center rib and wide shoulder blocks to deliver sharp steering response and outstanding cornering stability.
Quadruple circumferential grooves efficiently evacuate water from the tread contact area for increased resistance to hydroplaning. A full-width nylon band ensures uniform tread wear by creating even pressure distribution, extending tire life and enhancing high-speed stability. The Sumitomo HTR Z5 utilizes a reinforced sidewall construction which strengthens the tire to increase cornering grip and steering response for agile maneuverability.
The silica-infused tread compound improves wet grip and reduces hydroplaning risk, ensuring confident performance in all wet conditions. High-rigidity steel belts help to maintain handling precision, even at high speeds. Y speed rated (up to 186 mph).
UTQG rating: 320 AA A. The Sumitomo HTR Z5 is available in 17 through 20 inch rim sizes and 30 through 50 series aspect ratios.
