What Are Performance Tires?
Often in New England, we hear about snow tires or all-season tires. With the crazy weather changes we see, it makes sense that these are the two of the most common tires in Nashua. However, we also see plenty of beautiful spring and summer days that are ideal for performance tires. Although the term is, also, familiar, many people don’t fully understand the true definition and use of a performance tire. Here at RK Auto Repair, our team of experts take pride in the years of experience, and wealth of knowledge we provide to our customers. So, if you were ever curious about performance tires, this article is for you!

Performance tires are designed to give driving enthusiasts increased handling response and traction in both wet and dry conditions. Because of the range of benefits that a performance tire provides, they may, or may not, be the right type of tire for your driving needs.
The Design
With unique tread patterns, constructions features, and rubber compounds, performance tires enable a better handling experience. Beyond handling, a few of the other benefits these tires provide include:
- Higher speed capabilities

- Enhanced steering response
Are Performance Tires Right for Me?
Although we’d love to give you a straight answer to this question, there isn’t one. When selecting the best tires for your vehicle, you need to consider your driving priorities. Because drivers look for different experiences when they’re behind the wheel, different tires will satisfy those needs. For example, if you frequently drive for work, you’ll want to focus on a tire that can handle gas mileage and provide longevity with ride comfort. However, if you don’t mind sacrificing those items and are more interested in the driving experience, then performance tires may be the ideal solution.
Over the past several years, we have seen an increased demand for performance tires in Nashua. If you think this type of tire may be the solution you seek, contact the team at RK Auto Repair.
