When it comes to high-performance tires, you can expect about 20,000 miles.

UHP tires can not only wear out faster but also be pricier to replace than regular all-season tires.

Performance tires are called sticky simply because they have a larger rubber footprint and greater grip than all-purpose tires. Performance, also called summer tires, have lower profiles meaning their shorter sidewalls are stiffer providing better control and feel in tight curves than all-season rubber.

If you need something that is going to be gripping the road, and you will be often driving in conditions such as heavy rain, the preference can point towards the high-performance tire. The average driver should be looking at tires as if he or she is looking at sensible shoes, which is not a bad idea.

General pricing guidelines for new tires: Inexpensive tires will generally be in the range of $50 – $150 each. Moderately priced tires will usually be in the range of $100 – $300 each. High-end tires (ultra-high performance or specialty off-road tires) can be $300 – $1000 each.

Ultra high performance all-season tires are designed to maximize precision handling while delivering year-round versatility including light snow traction. These tend to be ultra low profile tires branded with the M+S symbol. The speed ratings are typically V, W, and Y.

While it may come as news to many that summer tires outperform all-season tires when it comes to both wet and dry traction, here’s something that won’t surprise: Performance tires don’t offer any winter traction. They get rigid at cold temps and aren’t a safe choice in any snow or ice conditions.

Most all-season tires do not qualify for the Mountain/Snowflake symbol because the tread rubber in all-season and summer tires become hard at temperatures below 40 F. One “all-weather” tire with the Mountain/Snowflake symbol is the Nokian WR G3 tire.

All-season tires are designed for a smooth, quiet ride in most conditions. While a set of all-season tires can offer some traction in light snow and the occasional winter storm, they’re not designed for deep snow, ice, and cold weather (when temperatures stay below ~45º F).

The downside of touring tires is that they don’t offer the same handling and responsiveness (like quick cornering and braking) as high performance tires do – though they are still totally safe in terms of traction. These tires are designed to offer sporty handling, fast responsiveness, and superior grip.

Performance tires are less noisy, but not quiet due to their purpose – providing excellent grip and responsiveness. Touring tires and those with low rolling resistance are usually the quietest. If comfort-oriented tires produce a loud noise on a smooth service, under normal driving conditions, there may be a problem.

Manufacturing white wall tires is expensive, as they require special compounds, and if the market does not want to pay for it, then it loses interest. White paints aren’t effective in making the white walls stay white.

Re: Painted wall Tyres Legal? if the walls are cast with the tyre during the manufacturing process, this is LEGAL. if the walls are painted on with the sidewall being etched, shaved, ground etc whether or not the load ratings have been ground off, this is ILLEGAL.
