Performance tyre gives maximum performance - maximising the handling, cornering, and control of vehicles. It is designed for a wide variety of vehicle models including sports cars and luxury vehicles. A stiff and wide tyre with low profile sidewall and large tread blocks easily enhances cornering power. A performance tyre has higher speed ratings to enhance grip and traction on both wet and dry roads. The tyre usually handles better, having the ability to have a shorter braking distance. Another advantage of a performance tyre is the capability to resist the heat build-up between the tyre and the road surface better. As such performance tyre makes driving safer as overheated tyres are a major cause of tyre failure.
