Summer Performance Tires
Maximum Dry and Wet Grip
Optimized tread compounds for warm-weather traction — larger contact patches, shallower tread depth. The choice for driving enthusiasts and track-day regulars in Southern California.
Best For
- Sports cars
- Track days
- Warm-weather driving
- Convertibles
Important: Do not use below 45°F — the compound hardens and grip drops significantly.
What Makes Them Different
Summer performance tires use a specialized rubber compound that stays pliable in heat and grips dry pavement better than any all-season. The tread pattern is optimized for water evacuation in wet conditions while keeping as much rubber on the road as possible.
Long Beach rarely gets cold enough to worry about the temperature limitation, which makes summer performance tires a genuine year-round option for drivers in this area.
These are the tires that come stock on performance cars from the factory — Michelin Pilot Sport, Pirelli P Zero, Continental SportContact. If you want the same grip the manufacturer intended, this is it.
