PASSENGER CAR / MINIVAN TIRES
Some tire manufacturers call tires rated S or T “performance” tires, but they’re performance in look only. Not feel or grip. Although they offer solid handling and comfort, they aren’t designed to enhance handling, which is what most performance drivers want.
PERFORMANCE TOURING TIRES
Tires rated H and V are typically considered “performance touring.” Some manufacturers state that their performance touring tires can be used in all seasons, so be sure to ask your local BFGoodrich Tire dealer for more information.
ULTRA-HIGH PERFORMANCE SPORT TIRES
Tires rated W, Y and Z, with an aspect ratio of less than 55. Typically designed for larger wheels (16” and above), these tires are made to enhance the handling of the vehicle.
* Exceeding the lawful speed limit is neither recommended nor endorsed.
