Explore the ins & outs of performance tires
Considering performance tires for your vehicle? We can help you make an informed decision by explaining the technology launch x431 diagun 3,the category,the different levels of performance and more.
Why Performance Tires?
Performance tires come with a variety of benefits that may or may not be right for you,depending on your lifestyle and needs. Some of these benefits include improved handling,higher speed capabilities,the ability to stop shorter,and enhanced grip. At Goodyear,we design our performance tires to help offer optimal maneuverability,handling and wet traction.
Characteristics of Performance Tires
Performance tires typically feature the same basic elements as standard passenger tires;only they have been fine-tuned to maximize performance attributes Creader VI. Below you’ll find a description of these elements:
Apex – usually made stiffer and wider than standard passenger tires in order to enhance cornering power.
Chafer – some feature rim flange protectors to help protect wheels and provide lateral stiffness.
Belts – usually at a lower angle than standard passenger tires,making it more responsive.
Overlay – material and layup facilitate higher speed ratings.
Tread Cap – compounding for both wet and dry traction.
Tread Pattern – uses less blades and aggressive blocks in order to enhance handling capabilities.
Performance Tire Technology
Performance tires are developed and fine-tuned for an enhanced driving experience. Some of the features that go into a performance tire that allow it to provide driving enjoyment are:
A short,low profile sidewall to offer enhanced cornering
Large tread blocks for dry traction and grip
A stiff and wide apex to enhance cornering power
Lower angle belts to allow for enhanced steering response
Optimized compounds to enhance grip and traction on both wet and dry roads
At Goodyear,some of our sport performance tires feature these unique technologies:
The Eagle? F1 Asymmetric All-Season features TredLock technology for both wet traction and grip in turns.
The Eagle? F1 GS-D3? tires offer V-TRED? technology for wet traction in ultra-high performance driving situations
Active CornerGrip? technology is featured in our Eagle? F1 Asymmetric tires
Low Profile Tires
Low Profile Tires are tires with a shorter sidewall height and a wide tread. Considering low profile tires? These are some key advantages to making that switch:
Low profile tires typically have wider contact patches on the road
These tires tend to offer enhanced traction and grip when it comes to steering and handling performance
Optimal sidewall stiffness is one of the advantages that come with low profile tires
Low profile tires tend to be more visually appealing
There are however,a few things you’ll want to consider first:
The feel of steering may change
You may encounter an increase in noise
Driving comfort levels may change
