They are critical to delivering the thrilling driving experience some drivers want.

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\/british-columbia-kelowna\/shop-tires\/\">Shop Tires Now <\/a><a class=\"btn\" href=\"https:\/\/trailtire.com\/british-columbia-kelowna\/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\/british-columbia-kelowna\/michelin\/\">Michelin<\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Pilot Sport performance tires are a high-end summer tire alternative for automobiles with extreme performance.
