“Every car drives easier with performance tyres as their contact with the road”

As all good mechanics know, it doesn’t matter how perfectly tuned your engine is, no matter what make your car is or the price of it, the performance of your vehicle will always come down to your tyres. If you’re really into your cars, and want to get the most out of your vehicle, then you’ll be looking for performance tyres over the usual, everyday tyres.

Performance tyres are specially designed tyres that have a lower and stiffer profile side wall and larger treads. This leads to a better grip. Some may even have a nylon cap over the steel belts to hold the type in place at high speeds. Originally designed for sports racing, they have made their way into mainstream for public consumption. Every car drives easier with performance tyres as their contact with the road. The advances in technology of modern day tyres is incredible and it’s improving every year. Performance tyres handle better, react faster and work more efficiently with today’s modern cars.
