About This Tire

The Sumitomo HTR A/S P03 225/50R18 is a summer tire designed for sports car, sporty coupe, and performance sedan drivers who prioritize high-performance handling and responsive steering in warm weather conditions. Its asymmetric tread design and silica-enhanced compound focus on reducing profile deformation during cornering while maintaining excellent wet weather traction through advanced water evacuation channels. The tire features a solid, high-tension bead apex that promotes sidewall rigidity for improved steering response, while the advanced "fin" design in the outboard intermediate rib feeds water into evacuation channels that extend to the shoulder area.

This construction helps reduce hydroplaning and maintains stability in wet conditions. Driver feedback points to excellent dry and wet performance with strong ratings of 9. 0 and 8.

6 respectively, along with good comfort levels and respectable treadwear characteristics for the ultra-high performance category. Compared to all-season performance tires, it focuses specifically on warm weather performance and handling precision over year-round versatility. Overall, it's a solid choice for performance vehicle owners used primarily for spirited driving and daily commuting in areas with minimal winter weather concerns.
