High Performance Tires

Performance tires are a type of rubber tire that provides additional grip and traction in comparison to standard passenger tires. A performance tire will typically have a more aggressive tread design for your car, truck, or SUV. This can be helpful in summer or all-season conditions

High performance tires are designed to provide grip and traction on high performance vehicles with quick acceleration and hard cornering characteristics.

Passenger tires are designed to maximize fuel economy, driver comfort, and mileage while minimizing road noise for daily-driven vehicles. Performance tires are designed to maximize grip, traction, and handling on different surfaces.

The longevity of performance tires is dependent on several factors. Each manufacturer and tire type has a different wear rating. The way the tires are used also will determine the length they will last.

In general, high performance tires tend to wear faster than standard passenger tires. The reason for this is that the compound is typically softer to provide more grip. However, this causes the rubber to wear faster than harder rubber compounds typically found on passenger tires. Aggressive driving also will cause high performance tires to wear out faster.
