Discover the Perfect Racing Tires for Peak Performance

Racing tires are purpose-built for speed, precision, and consistency. From 200-treadwear “extreme performance” street tires to DOT R-compounds, full slicks, rain (“wets”), and drag radials, we help you choose the right setup for your series, surface, and car—so you can attack braking zones, carry more mid-corner speed, and put power down with confidence.

Race Tire Categories We Support

  • Extreme Performance (?200 TW): Street-legal, track-day friendly; balances grip, heat management, and longevity.
  • DOT R-Compound: Minimal tread, faster warm-up and peak grip than 200-TW; limited wet evacuation; some are series-approved.
  • Full Slicks (Non-DOT): Maximum dry grip for sanctioned competition; not legal for street use.
  • Rains/Wets: Directional grooves and soft compounds for standing water and cool temps.
  • Drag Radials & Bias-Ply: Optimized footprints and sidewalls for straight-line traction; choose to match suspension and class rules.

How We Match You to the Right Racing Tire

  • Discipline & rules: Autocross, HPDE, time attack, wheel-to-wheel, drag—plus class legality (DOT vs. non-DOT) and event tire rules.
  • Surface & weather: Track texture, ambient/track temps, and rain likelihood influence compound and pattern.
  • Car setup: Weight, aero, power, camber range, and suspension travel determine carcass choice and section width.
  • Wear goals: Peak-lap performance vs. consistency across sessions and events—we’ll tune the recommendation accordingly.

Fitment & Safety Checklist (Verified Before Shipping)

  • Wheel width/offset and measured section width for fender/liner and strut clearance at full lock & compression.
  • Overall diameter for gearing, ABS/TC calibration, and class rules.
  • DOT compliance status for street legality and series tech inspection.
  • Load index and speed capability appropriate to vehicle mass and top speed at track.
  • Directionality/inside–outside mounting, TPMS considerations, and proper torque/torque-check guidance.

Track-Day & Competition Tips

  • Break-in: Scrub with a few moderate-pace laps and a full cool-down to stabilize compound before pushing.
  • Pressures & temps: Target values vary by tire and car—monitor hot pressures/pyrometer temps and adjust for even heat across the tread.
  • Heat cycles: Grip usually peaks early and tapers with cycles; plan rotations and session strategy for consistency.
  • Storage: Cool, dry, dark area away from ozone sources; bag tires between events to slow aging.
  • Wet strategy: Switch to rains before standing water forms; manage pressures for footprint and evacuation.

Packages & Services

  • Mounted/balanced wheel-and-tire packages shipped track-ready.
  • Fitment consulting for staggered/square setups, camber targets, and rotation plans.
  • Event-day support guidance: pressure baselines, scrubbing plans, and post-session checks.

FAQs: Racing Tires

What’s the difference between 200-TW, DOT R-compound, and slicks?

200-TW are street-legal and track-capable with balanced life; DOT R-compounds offer more peak grip but less wet evacuation; slicks (non-DOT) deliver maximum dry grip for competition use only.

Are DOT R-comp tires legal to drive to the track?

Many are street legal, but hydroplane quickly and wear fast on the highway. Verify DOT status and drive cautiously—or transport them.

Do I need rain tires?

If events run in heavy rain or standing water, dedicated wets significantly improve safety and lap consistency versus dry compounds.

How should I break in a new set?

Perform a controlled scrub (moderate laps without sliding), then allow a full cool-down. This helps stabilize the tread surface for consistent grip.

What hot pressures should I target?

It depends on tire construction, size, and car. We’ll provide model-specific guidance and help you tune using hot pressures and tread temps.

How many heat cycles will I get?

Varies by tire and driving style. Expect the first few cycles to offer peak grip, then a gradual fall-off with improved consistency.

Can I mix compounds or models?

Not recommended. For predictable balance, run a matched set (same model/compound) unless a specific class rule or setup requires otherwise.

What alignment should I run?

Racing tires often benefit from additional negative camber to even temps/wear. We’ll suggest a starting range based on your platform and tire.

How do I store race tires between events?

Keep them cool, clean, and out of sunlight/ozone. Bagging slows oxidation; avoid long-term loads on one spot to reduce flat-spotting.

Do I need different tires for autocross vs. road course?

Often yes. Autocross favors compounds that come in quickly; road courses may prioritize consistency over long sessions and higher temps.
