Different drivers have different expectations of their vehicles, and the tires they choose can make or break the experience. Performance Tires are the best choice for:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Drivers seeking precision handling, better grip, and responsiveness.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Drivers who are willing to make minor concessions in terms of gas mileage, ride quality, and tire lifespan in exchange for improved road control.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Drivers who seek more than just a smooth ride from point A to point B.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"cta-btns-row\"><a class=\"btn\" href=\"https:\/\/trailtire.com\/alberta-16th-avenue\/shop-tires\/\">Shop Tires Now <\/a><a class=\"btn\" href=\"https:\/\/trailtire.com\/alberta-16th-avenue\/shop-wheels\/\">Shop Wheels Now<\/a><\/div>\n<h2>Before Speeding Away On Performance Tires<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tire speed ratings, such as the maximum speed on your speedometer, are always higher than legal speed restrictions, but they are not a license to drive fast. Clearly, no matter what vehicle you operate, we do not encourage driving in an unsafe way or exceeding the speed limit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, what exactly are tire speed ratings, and how do they come into play?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Character symbols represent the tire&#8217;s speed rating, which is established by manufacturer testing. Speed ratings were first developed for sports cars decades ago, especially in Europe, where a few roads didn&#8217;t have speed restrictions. Car manufacturers use tire speed ratings to guarantee that cars and tires are suitable. In general, the greater a tire&#8217;s speed rating, the more performance-oriented it is.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The letter signs H, V, W, and Y are standard speed designations found on different aspects of performance tires. While there are no industry standards, tire buyers should expect to find:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Performance rubber with a speed rating of H (up to 210 kph) may be available; this category may also include winter tires for high-performance automobiles.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High-performance all-season tires are available in H (210 kph) and V speed categories (up to 240 kph).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ultra-high performance tires (summer and all-season variants) include V (up to 149 mph), Z (greater than 240 kph), W (up to 300 kph), and Y speed ratings (up 186 mph).<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check your vehicle&#8217;s owner&#8217;s handbook to determine the required tire speed rating. It could also be displayed on the tire description placard (label) attached to the inside of the door. In the size\/service information code, tire manufacturers place the letter speed indicator on the sidewall. We can assist you with locating tire speed rating data.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Michelin Pilot Sports Performance Tires<\/h2>\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-27892\" src=\"https:\/\/trailtire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Michelin.jpg\" alt=\"Michelin \" width=\"624\" height=\"122\" \/><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/trailtire.com\/alberta-16th-avenue\/michelin\/\">Michelin<\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Pilot Sport performance tires are a high-end summer tire alternative for automobiles with extreme performance.
