Shop Ultra High Performance Tires
Order Ultra High Performance tires by tire type, service description, brand, mileage warranty, availability, and current price.
Before choosing Ultra High Performance tires, match the vehicle-required load index, speed rating, and any applicable load or designation requirements.
Before buying UHP tires: W, Y and (Y) speed ratings
Ultra high performance tires (UHP tires) are passenger tires rated W (168 mph), Y (186 mph) or (Y) (above 186 mph), built for sports cars, performance sedans and performance SUVs. Ultra high performance tires use stiffer sidewalls, larger tread blocks and lower aspect ratios than high performance tires rated H or V, typically 30 to 45, such as 245/35ZR19 93Y.
ZR sizes to check when ordering UHP tires
ZR in an ultra high performance tire size, such as 255/35ZR19, marks a tire built for speeds above 149 mph. The speed symbol after the load index, W, Y or (Y), sets the exact maximum speed of the ultra high performance tire.
Choosing summer or all-season UHP tires
Summer ultra high performance tires give the shortest braking distances and the sharpest steering of any UHP tire, on dry and wet roads above 45°F. All-season ultra high performance tires carry the M+S marking and trade some dry grip for traction in light snow. See summer tires and all-season tires.
Temperature limits to weigh before buying summer UHP tires
Summer ultra high performance tires lose grip below 45°F (7°C), because the tread compound hardens in the cold. A car on summer UHP tires needs all-season, all-weather or winter tires for months when temperatures stay below 45°F.
OE markings to match when buying UHP tires
Many sports cars and performance SUVs leave the factory on ultra high performance tires with an automaker marking, such as ★ for BMW, MO for Mercedes-Benz or N0 to N9 for Porsche. Replacing UHP tires with the same marking keeps the handling the automaker tuned for; see original equipment tires.
Tread life to expect when buying UHP tires
Ultra high performance tires wear faster than touring and high performance tires, because the grippier compound trades mileage for traction. All-season UHP tires commonly carry 40,000 to 50,000-mile treadwear warranties; many summer UHP tires carry no treadwear warranty.
Ordering staggered UHP fitments
Many sports cars run staggered ultra high performance tires, with wider rear tires such as 245/35ZR19 front and 285/30ZR19 rear. Staggered UHP tires cannot rotate front to back, so the rear pair usually wears out first. Order front and rear UHP sizes as separate pairs to match the door-jamb placard.
Ordering ultra high performance tires from NeoTires
Ultra high performance tires are sold in exact front and rear sizes, so start with a vehicle search on NeoTires and add each matching pair to the cart.
