New Touring Line from Sumitomo Launched

TBC Wholesale announced an upgrade in its Sumitomo brand lineup with the addition of the Sumitomo Touring LS T/H/V.

The new tire, which replaces the Sumitomo HTR T4 line, comes in 31 sizes covering a broad range of high performance luxury sedans, touring vehicles and crossovers.

The Touring LS T/H/V features “an advanced carbon tread compound for extended treadlife and a proprietary construction package that delivers superior durability,” TBC said. “These design enhancements allow the Touring LS T/H/V to carry the Confidence Upgraded warranty package that offers both extended treadwear coverage and value added benefits.”

The warranty includes a free 30-day “No Hassle” Test Drive, two-year roadside assistance coverage, 100% replacement coverage for defects, and road hazard protection for the first year or first 2/32nds of use.
 
In addition, the Touring LS T/H/V carries an 85,000-mile treadwear warranty for T-rated sizes and a 65,000-mile treadwear warranty for H- and V-rated sizes.
