# Performance tires
Performance tires are commonly used on sports cars and performance-oriented vehicles. Ideal for use in above freezing temperatures, performance tires typically allow drivers to bring out the sporty handling, braking, and steering of their ride, and are able to perform in dry and wet conditions that are common with warmer weather. 

Performance tires are made by a variety of tire manufacturers, including <a title="Shop for Yokohama Performance Tires" href="/brands/yokohama-tires/categories/performance">Yokohama</a>, <a title="Shop for Bridgestone Performance Tires" href="/brands/bridgestone-tires/categories/performance">Bridgestone</a>, <a title="Shop for Toyo Performance Tires" href="/brands/toyo-tires/categories/performance">Toyo</a>, <a title="Shop for Pirelli Performance Tires" href="/brands/pirelli-tires/categories/performance">Pirelli</a> and <a title="Shop for Kumho Performance Tires" href="/brands/kumho-tires/categories/performance">Kumho</a>.

Sport Maxx RT NST

Built for the driver whose ride needs ultra high performance in warmer months, the Sport Maxx RT NST from Dunlop gives drivers race inspired grip thanks to its adaptive tread compound. Massive outer shoulder blocks give drivers added stability along with improved handling, while a low weight construction gives the Sport Maxx RT NST lower rolling resistance for better performance. <a href="https://simpletire.com/learn/tire-news-information/stopping-distance" target="_blank">Improved stopping distance at higher speeds</a>, the Sport Maxx RT NST is commonly used on many of today's most popular vehicles such as the Audi A3, Jaguar XE, Maserati Quattroporte, Mercedes C63 AMG, Mini Cooper, and Subaru Impreza WRX STI.

Performance tires are designed for use on sports cars and performance-oriented vehicles. These tires are usually at their best in above freezing temperatures, and offer drivers responsive handling, improved acceleration, and strong braking capabilities.

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.

Part Number

Tread design (or tread pattern) can affect handling, traction & noise for different driving styles & road conditions.

Tread Design

Tire Weight

The measurement of width from a tires inner sidewall to the outer sidewall.

Section Width

The range of widths the rim of the vehicle can be for this tire to be safely mounted on.

Rim Range

The diameter of a tire that is inflated without any load applied.

Overall Diameter

The Goodyear Wrangler Territory tires are well-regarded for their versatile performance across various terrains and weather conditions. They excel particularly in snow, mud, and off-road situations, making them a popular choice for truck and SUV owners. While they may produce more road noise than less aggressive tires, many users find this an acceptable trade-off for the improved traction and rugged appearance. The tires offer good value, especially when purchased on sale, though some users report faster wear or decreased fuel efficiency.

The Goodyear Wrangler Territory tires receive mostly positive reviews for their performance in various conditions, particularly in snow, mud, and off-road situations.
