Racing tires are meant to give drivers strong traction and performance on the drag strip, race, street, or dirt track. 

 Available as slicks or with tread patterns, racing tires are engineered to give drivers quicker acceleration, responsive steering, and improved braking to help them shave precious seconds off of their lap times. Often times, racing tires are not <a title="What is a Tire DOT Code and Why Is It Important?" href="/learn/tire-buying-guides/dot-code">DOT (Department of Transportation) approved</a> and they cannot be used for daily driving.

Best Rated Racing Tires

Sport Maxx RT

NT555RII

Racing tires offer drivers strong performance on the drag strip, race track, street track, or dirt track. These tires are available in different varieties, but are typically built to provide quicker acceleration, responsive steering, and improved braking for faster lap times.

Vehicle

This product is not covered by a manufacturer’s treadlife warranty.

Mileage Warranty

The maximum carrying capacity for a tire determined by the manufacturer.

Load Index

Maximum speed capability to safely carry a load for an extended period of time.

Max Speed

The maximum load carrying strength at the specified inflation pressure, also known as ply rating.

Load Range

The side of the tire between the tread and rim, with cosmetic branding as well as information about the tire including manufacturer, model, size, etc.

Sidewall

Standards that measure treadwear, temperature resistance and traction, example: "640 A A".  The 640 is the treadwear test and it lasted 6.4 times longer than the comparison tire tested against.  The first "A" is the traction rating using straight-line wet traction on test surfaces (see information tables tab) and the second "A" is the temperature rating by testing operation at high speeds without heat-related failure (see information tables tab).

UTQG

Wet Traction is a piece of the UTQG for example if  UTQG is: 500 AA A, the wet traction piece is the second piece, the "AA".

Wet Traction

Measured in 32nds of an inch, this metric shows how much tread life is left on a tire, with the tire's traction & stopping capabilities greatly diminished at 4/32nds and less. Tire manufacturers include "tire wear bars" at 2/32nds to indicate when your tire is worn out.

Tread Depth

The highest inflation pressure (measured in pounds of force per square inch, PSI) the tire is designed to contain, and should only be used when called for by the vehicle placard.

Inflation Pressure

An identifier of a particular tire line and size combination assigned by the tire manufacturer.
