High Performance Tires

A secure high speed drive is guaranteed with high performance tires. They provide quick and precise handling, reliable maneuvering, and superb performance throughout the drive, all while ensuring great traction.

What You Need to Know Before Buying High Performance Tires

High performance tires can handle the pressure of high speed driving while offering good traction and sharp handling. They are available for everyday use, as well as for racing applications.
Most UHP tires feature asymmetric tread patterns, where one side is optimized to enhance maneuvering, while the other side provides traction and hydroplaning resistance. This combination significantly enhances driving safety levels.
While most of these tires are manufactured for summer weather use, you will be able to find high performance tire models for summer, winter, and all season applications.
Optimized groove patterns significantly enhance hydroplaning resistance, which is especially important during high speed driving.
These tires face and have to withstand more tire pressure than touring tires. Therefore, they are manufactured using stronger compounds that withstand heat accumulation and premature wear.
The wider footprint of UHP tires helps improve their controllability. Sharp handling and maneuvering are the selling points of these tires, which have to meet certain standards to guarantee safe high speed use
High performance tires are available for sports cars and racing vehicles. Whether you navigate busy streets or conquer the track, these tires will ensure your driving security
The heat-resistant compound and the reinforced internal structure of high performance tires make sure they can handle stronger high speed pressure

How to Choose the Right High Performance Tires:

High speed driving requires strong tires that can handle heat build-up and enormous amounts of driving pressure without diminishing their handling capabilities. As such, high performance tires are a great choice for drivers enjoying the thrill of driving.
Choosing the correct tire size is crucial. The vehicle’s recommended tire size can be checked in its owner’s manual and on the driver-side door jamb sticker. Keep in mind that if the wheels were changed or upsized, this might not be the right tire size for you - in that case, your current tire’s sidewall will have the answer.
While drivers previously could not find UHP tires for winter weather, that is no longer an issue. Look through the selection and buy summer, all season, or winter tires that suit the weather conditions in which the tires will be used.
Many different tire brands manufacture high performance tires. It is important to find the right fit for your needs, budget, and expectations. Researching brands and reading customer reviews is the best way to gather unbiased information.
Setting a realistic budget is the first step. Not only will this help you from overspending, but it will also help narrow down the options presented.
Install your new tires professionally to ensure their longevity. Don’t forget to follow proper maintenance steps, including regular rotations, air pressure checks, and balancing to lengthen the service life

High performance tires were developed to ensure exceptional handling and durability, even at high speeds. Enjoy the thrill of driving without compromising traction both on the track and when navigating busy city streets.
