Performance Tires provide sports car users with improved handling and traction in both wet and dry situations. They are critical to delivering the thrilling driving experience some drivers want. They use specialized tread patterns, manufacturing characteristics, and rubber compounds to improve precision, sensitivity, and traction.
Consider your driving priorities if you’re unsure whether Performance Tires are ideal for you. 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:
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.
Character symbols represent the tire’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’t have speed restrictions. Car manufacturers use tire speed ratings to guarantee that cars and tires are suitable. In general, the greater a tire’s speed rating, the more performance-oriented it is.
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:
Check your vehicle’s owner’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.

We recommend ultra-high performance (UHP) summer tires when it comes to how your high-performance vehicle handles turns and at high speeds. With a broader diameter, narrower sidewalls, and an incredibly sticky rubber compound, you’ll enjoy more excellent handling, braking, and acceleration for every mile.
An ultra-high-performance tire is distinguished not only by its size – 18 inches in diameter or more – but also by its higher competency in the most challenging circumstances. With a pair of UHP rubber on your performance vehicle, you can expect a sportier ride, easier lane changes, and improved steering precision and turning stability.
