Racing tires are meant to give drivers strong traction and performance on the drag strip, race, street, or dirt track. 

  Available as slicks or with tread patterns, racing tires are engineered to give drivers quicker acceleration, responsive steering, and improved braking to help them shave precious seconds off of their lap times. Often times, racing tires are not <a title="What is a Tire DOT Code and Why Is It Important?" href="/learn/tire-buying-guides/dot-code">DOT (Department of Transportation) approved</a> and they cannot be used for daily driving.
