If you are looking for luxury comfort and safety in a tire, then Sumitomo got you. For example, their Tour Plus LS is a budget friendly all season touring tire that delivers all year traction and performance.
Even through mud or snow, this model offers great handling due to its shoulder design. The increased number of sipes on the shoulder highly reduces aquaplaning risk by quickly evacuating water on wet surfaces. Four wide linear grooves help channel the dirt and water out, thus maintaining a good contact patch between the road and the rubber. The Tour LS takes advantage of an optimized tread pattern that boosts traction force without affecting noise reduction.
The robust internal construction of this tire greatly increases handling and car stability, allowing for speeds up to 168 mph. For instance, its stronger and wider steel belts are built for maximizing durability and tire life. The stiff polyester cord body offers high structural rigidity meant to endure bad roads. The enhanced sidewall stiffness ensures great cornering ability. The next generation carbon compound provides high performance no matter the weather. The touring comfort is greatly increased by a smart and modern tread pattern.
Above all, this model shows impressive results on touring sedans and SUVs. It appears on the US market in a vast range of sizes from 13" to 18" wheel diameters. According to many pleased customers, it fits best on Honda Accord, Ford Mondeo, and Toyota Camry. Besides that, Sumitomo backs you with an up to 90,000 miles tread wear warranty.
