# Performance tires
Performance tires are commonly used on sports cars and performance-oriented vehicles. Ideal for use in above freezing temperatures, performance tires typically allow drivers to bring out the sporty handling, braking, and steering of their ride, and are able to perform in dry and wet conditions that are common with warmer weather. 

Performance tires are made by a variety of tire manufacturers, including <a title="Shop for Yokohama Performance Tires" href="/brands/yokohama-tires/categories/performance">Yokohama</a>, <a title="Shop for Bridgestone Performance Tires" href="/brands/bridgestone-tires/categories/performance">Bridgestone</a>, <a title="Shop for Toyo Performance Tires" href="/brands/toyo-tires/categories/performance">Toyo</a>, <a title="Shop for Pirelli Performance Tires" href="/brands/pirelli-tires/categories/performance">Pirelli</a> and <a title="Shop for Kumho Performance Tires" href="/brands/kumho-tires/categories/performance">Kumho</a>.

Performance tires

primary

This tire has an excellent warranty, which means that it's expected to last 
                            for a very long time based on the tire type. Regular tire maintenance, such as rotation and 
                            alignment, and safe driving habits are key to ensuring this tire hits its stated mileage warranty.

Excellent Mileage Warranty

P Zero Dir

Drivers of luxury and sport sedans and SUVs long for a tire that's built to perform just like their ride. Fortunately, Pirelli designed the P Zero Dir with these drivers in mind as it's directional tread pattern allows for strong performance in warmer weather. Three solid center ribs improve braking capabilities when driving at higher speeds, and the P Zero Dir's S-shaped tread design enhances braking and turning performance by distributing pressure optimally throughout the tire.

Tires designed and engineered to meet your vehicle’s specific needs.

The “Perfect fit”

State-of-the-art technology for all tire types, passenger or SUV.

Innovation

Performance tires are designed for use on sports cars and performance-oriented vehicles. These tires are usually at their best in above freezing temperatures, and offer drivers responsive handling, improved acceleration, and strong braking capabilities.

Mileage Warranty

The maximum carrying capacity for a tire determined by the manufacturer.

Load Index

Maximum speed capability to safely carry a load for an extended period of time.

Max Speed

The maximum load carrying strength at the specified inflation pressure, also known as ply rating.

Load Range

The side of the tire between the tread and rim, with cosmetic branding as well as information about the tire including manufacturer, model, size, etc.

Sidewall

Standards that measure treadwear, temperature resistance and traction, example: "640 A A".  The 640 is the treadwear test and it lasted 6.4 times longer than the comparison tire tested against.  The first "A" is the traction rating using straight-line wet traction on test surfaces (see information tables tab) and the second "A" is the temperature rating by testing operation at high speeds without heat-related failure (see information tables tab).

UTQG

Wet Traction is a piece of the UTQG for example if  UTQG is: 500 AA A, the wet traction piece is the second piece, the "AA".

Wet Traction

Measured in 32nds of an inch, this metric shows how much tread life is left on a tire, with the tire's traction & stopping capabilities greatly diminished at 4/32nds and less. Tire manufacturers include "tire wear bars" at 2/32nds to indicate when your tire is worn out.

Tread Depth

The highest inflation pressure (measured in pounds of force per square inch, PSI) the tire is designed to contain, and should only be used when called for by the vehicle placard.

Inflation Pressure

An identifier of a particular tire line and size combination assigned by the tire manufacturer.

Part Number

Tread design (or tread pattern) can affect handling, traction & noise for different driving styles & road conditions.

Tread Design

Tire Weight

The measurement of width from a tires inner sidewall to the outer sidewall.

Section Width

The range of widths the rim of the vehicle can be for this tire to be safely mounted on.

Rim Range

The diameter of a tire that is inflated without any load applied.
