Shop High Performance Tires
Order High Performance tires by tire type, service description, brand, mileage warranty, availability, and current price.
Before choosing High Performance tires, match the vehicle-required load index, speed rating, and any applicable load or designation requirements.
Before buying high performance tires: speed ratings and handling
High performance tires (HP tires) are passenger tires rated H (130 mph) or V (149 mph), built for sharper steering response and more grip than touring tires. High performance tires use stiffer sidewalls, wider tread blocks and lower aspect ratios than touring tires, typically 40 to 55, such as 225/45R17 91V. Tires rated W (168 mph) or Y (186 mph) belong to the ultra high performance category.
Choosing summer or all-season high performance tires
Summer high performance tires give the shortest dry and wet braking distances and the most precise steering of all HP tires, and are not built for snow. All-season high performance tires carry the M+S marking and give up some dry and wet grip in exchange for traction in light snow. See summer tires and all-season tires.
Temperature limits to weigh before buying summer HP tires
Summer high performance tires lose grip below 45°F (7°C), because the tread compound hardens in the cold. A car on summer high performance tires needs all-season, all-weather or winter tires for months when temperatures stay below 45°F.
XL load ratings to check when ordering HP tires
Many high performance tire sizes come in two load versions, standard load (SL) and XL (Extra Load): a 225/45R17 is rated 91 (1,356 lb) as SL and 94 (1,477 lb) as XL. A car that left the factory on XL high performance tires needs XL replacements, so buyers check the load index on the door-jamb placard before choosing between the two versions.
Tread life to expect when buying HP tires
High performance tires wear faster than touring tires because the softer, grippier compound trades mileage for traction. All-season high performance tires commonly carry 40,000 to 60,000-mile treadwear warranties; many summer high performance tires carry 30,000 miles or no treadwear warranty. The warranty for each high performance tire is listed in its product specifications.
Ordering staggered high performance fitments
Many performance cars use staggered fitments, with wider rear tires than front tires, such as 245/40R18 front and 275/35R18 rear. Staggered high performance tires cannot be rotated front to back, so the rear set usually wears out first and is replaced as a pair. Order front and rear sizes separately to match the door-jamb placard.
