High-Performance Tires

High-Performance Summer Tires

Summer tires are perfect for driving in warm climates and conditions; they're often what you find on most sports cars. In fact, performance tires are often found on muscle cars as well due to their wider tread and fewer grooves that make it easier for rear-wheel drive cars to find traction. These muscle car tires are also well-rounded for street driving and racing, so you can take them to your local track or drag strip if that's the experience you’re after. Summer tires are great for summer conditions, hence the name, but once it gets cold and slippery it's time to stash them away for the winter. This isn't a problem if you keep your Camaro or Mustang in a garage and only drive it during the summer, but if you plan on using your muscle car for your commute to work you may have better luck with all-seasons tires.

Drag & Competition Tires

Plan on doing some serious racing? If so, it's time to consider upgrading your OEM tires to racing tires that suit your driving style with some of the best options being slicks and radial tires. Slicks are some of the best tires for drag racing because they maximize the contact area between the road and your tire due to the smooth tread pattern. In dry conditions, these tires will give you the best possible performance at the drag strip. On the other hand, once a tiny bit of water hits the pavement you can kiss any semblance of traction goodbye. Radial tires are another option for racing applications and they're closer to your average street tire. Many radial racing tires also have DOT approval, so you can take them out on the street instead of having your vehicle towed to every event. If you’re going with slicks or massive radials in the back, you may want to pair them with thin street tires from brands like Mickey Thompson.

All-Season Tires

For those who dare to drive their muscle car on the daily, you'll need a set of wheels and all-season tires, especially if you live in a region that has more seasons than just summer. All-Season tires have a balanced tread design, thicker tread walls, and grooves that prevent hydroplaning. Now, these tires aren't going to give you traction in a blizzard, especially with a real-wheel drive setup, so don't get too cocky with them. Whether you need all-season tires to ensure that you can enjoy your car all year round, or you’re planning on switching to aftermarket tires for racing, you've come to the right place.
