Sumitomo 245/45R18 100W XL HTR A/S P03 BW ASP17

Features and Benefits: Year-round traction; High speed performance; Fuel-conscious drive; Longer-lasting tread life; Sumitomo HTR A/S P03 TiresThe Sumitomo HTR A/S P03 is a performance and high performance, all season tire manufactured for passenger vehicles and SUVs. Sumitomo offers a 45,000 mile treadwear warranty for W speed-rated tires and 65,0... more00 mile treadwear warranty for H and V speed-rated sizes. The tire improves its performance throughout the year. The asymmetric tread pattern and the all season compound enhance dry, wet, and winter-weather traction. It can easily maintain road contact in versatile weather conditions, while the all season compound keeps the rubber flexible in changing temperatures. These elements upgrade driving safety levels throughout the year. On the other hand, this model also has a safe drive in wet situations. It can eliminate water and slush from the footprint, preventing hydroplaning. This model offers excellent high speed performance. The asymmetric tread pattern is able to maintain road contact, which increases the steering response time and accuracy to the drivers commands. The structure is secured against driving pressure as well. Also, the reinforced internal structure keeps the ideal tire shape under driving pressure. The heat-resistant compound prevents heat build-up during its high speed performance. This combination increases driving durability and handling. The asymmetric tread pattern and the special rubber compound offer fuel-efficient performance. They can reduce the rolling resistance, which presents the pressure that determines how much energy the vehicle needs to keep the tire in motion. By lowering the rolling resistance, the fuel intake levels and CO2 emissions are also decreased. This makes the tire fuel-conscious and environmentally friendly. The Sumitomo HTR A/S P03 extends its tread life. The tread pattern and the rubber compound resist irregular and premature wear formations. This tread can evenly distribute driving pressure across the tread area, while the compound greatly decreases the treadwear rate. This slow and even wear boost the tires service life and usability. Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
