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.
