Innovation Meets the Road with Modern Tires from Performance Plus Tire
Modern tire technology blends advanced tread design, next-gen rubber compounds, and precise construction to deliver confident grip, quiet comfort, and long life. At Performance Plus Tire, our Fitment Team helps you choose a tire that matches your vehicle, climate, and driving style—so you get predictable handling in the dry, secure braking in the wet, and the right ride quality every day.
Why Today’s Tires Perform Better
Advanced Compounds: High-silica blends and functional polymers improve wet traction and reduce rolling resistance for efficiency.
3D Siping & Variable Pitch: Bites into water and slush while lowering pattern noise for a refined cabin.
Reinforced Construction: Aramid/nylon cap plies and optimized sidewalls stabilize the contact patch at speed and under load.
Computer-Modeled Footprints: Even pressure distribution extends tread life and improves steering feel.
Choose the Right Category
Ultra-High Performance (UHP) Summer: Maximum dry/wet grip and response; use above ~45°F and avoid snow/ice.
UHP All-Season: Sporty handling with year-round versatility for regions with mild winters.
Grand Touring/All-Season: Quiet, comfortable daily driving with strong treadlife warranties.
All-Weather (3PMSF): Severe-snow rated alternatives to dedicated winters for mixed climates.
Winter/Snow (3PMSF): Best traction on packed snow and ice—install seasonally for cold climates.
EV-Focused Options: Low rolling resistance, higher load indexes/HL ratings, and noise-damping features to handle instant torque.
Fitment Factors We Verify
Size & Plus-Sizing: Keep overall diameter close to stock (about ±3%) to protect ABS/speedometer and maintain proper gearing.
Load Index & XL/HL: Match or exceed the vehicle’s requirements—especially on SUVs, trucks, and EVs.
Speed Rating: H/V/W/Y ratings balance heat resistance and handling; choose at or above OE spec.
UTQG: Treadwear, traction, and temperature grades offer guidance; compare within similar categories and use cases.
Noise & Comfort: Pattern pitch, foam liners (on select models), and sidewall tuning influence cabin refinement.
Wheel & Tire Packages—Mount, Balance, Drive
Have us mount and road-balance your tire choice on compatible wheels, add TPMS where applicable, and include the correct hardware. Your package arrives ready to bolt on with torque specs and care guidance.
Care & Maintenance
Check pressure monthly (and before trips), rotate every 5,000–7,500 miles or per vehicle guidance, and align after suspension work or when you notice uneven wear. Replace tires around 4/32" for wet-weather braking, 5/32" before winter, and no later than legal minimum 2/32". Inspect sidewalls/tread for damage after impacts.
Modern Tires FAQ
What makes a tire “modern” versus older designs?
Contemporary tires use high-silica compounds, 3D sipes, variable-pitch tread blocks, and reinforced constructions that improve grip, noise, efficiency, and treadlife compared to prior generations.
All-season vs. all-weather vs. summer—what’s the difference?
All-season balances year-round use in mild winters; all-weather carries the 3PMSF severe-snow symbol for better winter traction; summer maximizes warm-weather performance and should not be used in freezing conditions.
Do I need EV-specific tires?
EV-focused tires often feature higher load/HL ratings, lower rolling resistance, and noise-damping. They’re recommended if your EV’s OE spec calls for them or you want maximum range and refinement.
How do I read UTQG ratings?
Treadwear is a comparative wear index (higher can mean longer life within a category), traction grades wet-braking performance, and temperature grades heat resistance. Use UTQG to compare similar tire types, not across very different categories.
What speed rating should I choose?
Select the same or higher rating than OE. Higher ratings can improve handling/heat tolerance but may trade some ride or treadlife. We’ll match the right spec for your vehicle and goals.
How often should I rotate my tires?
Every 5,000–7,500 miles is typical; follow your owner’s manual. Directional/staggered setups may have limited rotation patterns—ask our team for the best approach.
When should I replace my tires?
Replace at 2/32" by law in most regions; consider 4/32" for wet stopping and 5/32" before winter for snow traction. Replace sooner if you see cracks, bulges, cords, or impact damage.
Will wider tires improve grip?
Wider tires can increase the contact patch in the dry but may aquaplane sooner in deep water and add weight. We size for real-world streets, climate, and wheel width for balanced results.
Can low rolling resistance tires still have good wet grip?
Yes—modern compounds and tread designs can pair efficiency with strong wet braking. We’ll recommend models that balance your range/MPG goals and safety.
Do you offer road-hazard coverage and treadlife warranties?
Many models include manufacturer treadwear warranties; optional road-hazard protection is available. Keep rotation/alignment records to maintain warranty eligibility.
