High-performance tires

Tires keep you rolling. Their quality matters especially when you frequently engage to off-road driving. If you are a performance driver, you surely want the best tires for your ride. So what are the best options that you can have?

Goodyear Eagle, Continental Constisportcontact 3 , and Bridgestone Potenzas are perhaps first on the list when it comes to giving out the best service for your travels. Let’s take a look on each of them.

Goodyear Eagle tires have changed dramatically since the Gatorback (1983). Experts from Eagle have designed the high-performance touring tire aimed at satisfying the driving enthusiast who wants additional grip but not at the expense of a harsh ride.

New Eagle tires have asymmetric dual-compound tread. ON the inboard side is the all season zone, where the open pattern facilitates water dispersion and a high-silica rubber compound improves wet grip, aided by fine grooves with special tread locks that reduce squirm. The outside tread is the high performance zone, with large tread blocks and circumferential rung made of a grippier compound.

The dual- purpose theme carries inside the tire. The Eagle’s outer sidewalls are reinforced with carbon fibers, the resulting firmness reducing tire roll and keeping more tread on the pavement. The inner sidewalls, on the other hand, are conventional, tuned for ride comfort and aided by a layer of Kevlar beneath the tread.

Continental Contisportcontact 3 are often great for sports cars. These tires let them go faster. As original equipments on Porshes, Mercedes AMG models, and BMW M series, Continental has evolved its venerable Contisportcontact tire to its third iteration. It’s an improvement that raises the level of performances for everything but noise. And the CSC2 wasn’t theat noisy no begin with.

Like an engine that has both better fuel efficiency and performance, the CSC3 has improved rolling and resistance and grio according to their engineers. To prevent aquaplaning, a revised tread pattern helps to expel water but doesn’t sacrifice the contact patch. An asymmetrical rubbed trad pattern is optimized for high loads, specifically those from high speeds, braking and cornering. Combined with a refined rubber compound, the CSC3 really shines at the track.

Bridgestone Potenzas tires offer enthusiasts, who want to maximize dry weather traction on the street or at the occasional track event. The unidirectional tread pattern starts out with a semi slick shoulder block, brandishing “racing slits” claimed to promote uniform pressure of the contact patch by increasing flexibility. A thick center rib provides for favorable initial responsiveness and straight-line stability while cooling slits throughout the tread ensure the tire’s survival to its V and W speed rated limits. Because this tire is not a competition radial, Bridgeston’s Hydro Evacuation Surface tread technology has been employed to avoid aquaplaning on wet pavement.

Bridgestone’s second addition to its performance lineup, phasing out the S-03 model, is the newly reengineered “Ultra High Performance” Potenza RE050A Pole position. Although there are no discernible changes to the tread patter, the significance lies in the tire’s compound and construction, The main focus of the changes is to improve handling response over the standard RE050A and prolong traction throughout the life of the tires, while an increase in silica content enhances wet-traction capability.

Plans for OE applications result in W and Y speed rated sizes.
These three quality tires should always be considered as your top three options whenever looking for replacement tires. Always make sure that whenenver you are replacing your tires, you have checked the specifications. Also, ensure that a qualified personnel will assist you in installing the new tires. If they are not properly installed, they will probably experience early wearing.
