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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Many models include manufacturer treadwear warranties; optional road-hazard protection is available. Keep rotation/alignment records to maintain warranty eligibility.
