Before choosing Track Competition tires, match the vehicle-required load index, speed rating, and any applicable load or designation requirements.
Before buying track tires: grip built for heat and lap times
Track and competition tires are tires built for lapping days, time attack and club racing, where grip at high temperature matters more than tread life, wet traction or comfort. Track tires use soft compounds, stiff sidewalls and shallow tread with few grooves, so more rubber touches the road. Most track and competition tires sold for road cars are DOT-marked, which makes them legal to drive to the track; non-DOT racing slicks are track-only.
Treadwear ratings to compare when buying track tires
The UTQG treadwear number on the sidewall is the quickest guide to how a track tire is built. DOT competition tires, often called R-compound tires, carry treadwear ratings around 40 to 100 and give the most grip with the shortest life. Extreme performance summer tires carry treadwear around 200; many club racing and time-trial classes set 200 as the minimum, so racers check their class rules before ordering.
Choosing track tires by how the car gets to the track
- Drive-to-track buyers choose 200-treadwear tires or streetable track tires, which still clear some water on the drive home.
- Trailer-to-track buyers choose R-compound tires or a dedicated second set on spare wheels.
- Autocross buyers choose tires that heat up within one short run; see autocross tires.
Heat cycles and tread life before you buy
Track tires lose grip as they go through heat cycles, each time the tire heats to track temperature and cools again, and soft compounds wear quickly on track. A set of R-compound tires may last only a few track weekends, so drivers budget for track tires as a consumable and buy a fresh set before important events.
Wet-weather limits to weigh before buying
Track and competition tires with shallow tread hydroplane at much lower speeds than street tires, and lose grip below their working temperature. Drivers who commute on track tires in rain or cold take that risk; most keep a set of summer tires or all-season tires for daily driving.
Sizes and staggered fitments to check when ordering
Track tires are ordered in the car's front and rear sizes, or in wider sizes the wheels, fenders and class rules allow, such as 245/40R17 front and 275/35R18 rear. Staggered sets are ordered as separate front and rear pairs, because the tires cannot rotate front to back.
