Sumitomo High Performance HTR Z Tire (255/40-17)

HTR Z series tires are Sumitomo’s Ultra High Performance Summer tire. These aggressively designed tires deliver confident performance in both wet and dry conditions, both on and off the track. They feature a directional offset V tread pattern that literally plows water out of the way preventing hydroplaning in dangerous weather conditions.

A solid center rib helps delivers directional stability even in the most heavily grooved highways. In addition to excellent performance, the HTR Z series tires deliver a smooth ride with minimal road noise. That way you and your passengers can be treated to the sounds that really count, like the growl of your motor, the wine of your supercharger, or the bass thumping from your Mach 1000 stereo system!
