Michelin Energy Saver, PremiumContact 6, Turanza ER30ģ.Performance Tires (Extreme Performance Summer, Max Performance Summer, *UHP All-Season): Winter/Snow (Studless Ice & Snow, Studded, Performance Winter):Ģ.Touring Tires (Grand Touring All-Season, Grand Touring Summer, Passenger All-Season): Performance All-Season tires are now classified under the “Performance” category, so tires like the Pilot A/S 3 are now technically under category 3.ġ. What use to be “Winter/Snow, All-Season, Performance Street, Streetable Track & Competition, DOT-approved Slick is now what you see below. The categories have changed and are fairly jumbled up now. I’m mostly considering the wet-weather performance in this re-categorization, but tire technology is getting better and blurring the lines between “summer” and “Streetable Track”. Many of the high performance ‘summer’ street tires (like the AD08R and Indy 500) are more in lines with the Cup 2 and Dunlop Race 2 tire than they are a PS4S or Conti Sport tire. I moved the commonly used “R-comp” track tires like NT01 & R888 to the DOT-approved slick section along with adding the tit’e “R-comp”. UPDATE: There is now a more prevalent use of “R-compound” tires from manufacturers like Michelin, Pirelli, and GoodYear that use motorsport “race” compounds in their “road” tires. I prefer Tire Rack’s separation of the treaded “R-comps” into the Streetable Track & Competition category while placing tires with only circumferential grooves (like the Hoosier R7 & BFG R1) into the “D.O.T.-approved Slick” category. This nomenclature is used for everything from the treaded NT01 and R888 to the slick A7, R7, and Ventus Z214. “R-comp” is not really well defined other than the vague description of “race-derived rubber” and as a middle ground between street tires and racing slicks. *Notice there is no “R-Compound” (“R” = Race Compound) tire definition in the above categories.

I have arbitrarily listed some examples for each category below:Ģ020 update – I don’t like what Tire Rack did to their categories so i’m sticking with their original categories below, and updating the list to add modern tires:īridgestone Blizzak, Michelin Alpin, Continental ContiWinterContact, Pirelli Winter Snowcontol These 5 main categories are further broken down into sub-sections like “Ultra High Performance”, “High Performance”, “Performance”, “Touring”, etc… I won’t go into detail since I usually pick tires from the top sub-section of every category. They break down tires into 5 main categories, while I added a 6 th. They have numerous customer reviews, independent tests, and are a pleasure to do business with. is a great source of information for everything tire related. However, in recent years a few manufacturers are starting to make tires that are very good in all categories. Usually as you increase the dry capability of a tire, you start to suffer wet performance and comfort in terms of noise and ride quality. Just like everything in life, choosing the best tire is often a compromise since it’s rare to find a tire that is really good in the rain, quiet and lasts a long time that can perform well in the dry and hold up to extensive track use. Determining the importance of dry, wet, snow performance, tire longevity, ride quality, and comfort should be the first step when looking for a tire.

Buying the right tires for your grocery-getting, baby-hauling daily driver in the northeast or Florida (where it rains most days of the week) is going to be a lot different than buying tires for your weekend toy in Southern California that never sees rain.
