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

HTR Z III Series Tires are Sumitomo's New Max Performance Summer Tire. These ultra aggressively designed tires deliver Extrasensory Perception-esque performance in both wet and dry conditions, both on and off the track.

Long lateral grooves evacuate water from the center of the footprint along with four straight, wide grooves further heighten drainage for improved wet performance providing excellent hydroplaning resistance in adverse weather conditions. A 3-D wave wall increases drainage capabilities and reinforces center rib stability. Five rib asymmetric tread pattern merges cornering with straight line stability delivering high-speed stamina and predictable handling.

In addition to outstanding performance, the HTR Z III 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!

NOTE: These are ultra high performance summer specific compound and tread tires. Use during the summer and warm temperature months will result in superior traction over "all season" tires. Use during the winter months/cold temperatures significantly reduces traction and increases stopping distance as the compound becomes less sticky.

Mounted & Balanced: Please allow an extra 3 business days on your wheel and tire package for mounting and balancing.
