Purchasing Performance Tires at Global Auto Service
What Are Performance Tires?
Performance tires are specifically designed to enhance a vehicle's handling, grip, and traction at higher speeds. These tires are engineered for improved responsiveness and better cornering ability, making them popular among sports car enthusiasts and drivers seeking enhanced performance on the road.
Key Features of Performance Tires
Enhanced Traction
Performance tires often have specialized tread patterns that offer superior grip and traction, especially during acceleration, braking, and cornering. This feature allows for better control and stability, particularly when driving at higher speeds or on challenging road surfaces.
Stiffer Construction
These tires are built with a stiffer sidewall and tread for improved responsiveness and handling. The stiffer construction helps reduce the tire's deformation during high-speed maneuvers, resulting in more precise steering and better overall control.
High-Speed Durability
Performance tires are designed to withstand the rigors of high-speed driving, maintaining stability and durability even under demanding conditions. They are often constructed with advanced materials and specialized compounds that provide increased durability and heat resistance.
Optimized Tread Patterns
The tread patterns of performance tires are engineered to provide optimal contact with the road surface, maximizing grip and enhancing overall performance. These specialized patterns can also contribute to improved water dispersion, reducing the risk of hydroplaning in wet conditions.
While performance tires excel in delivering enhanced driving dynamics and handling, they may offer a firmer ride quality compared to standard tires, and they may have a shorter lifespan due to their softer rubber compounds. Regular maintenance and appropriate driving habits are essential to ensure the longevity and optimal performance of these tires.

What Our Customers Are Saying
My experience getting snow tires was great today- he was able to do it very quickly and for a good price. Nice guy
Called and was able to swing a same day appointment and service for my brakes on my toyota. Quick to diagnose, transparent on pricing, and easy to work with. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a mechanic in town.
Great customer service , reasonable pricing and attention to detail …. Old school customer service ! My go to place now for any auto maintenance!
I know these guys and I was so excited when they opened their own shop! It's family run owned and operated. They have tons of experience and finally left the larger dealerships to start their own business with integrity and honesty. I brought my old Ranger in for a power steering issue and steering rack I had installed from a prior mechanic. They handled negotiations with the parts dealer to get me a new steering rack, remanufactured. However, that rack failed after a month! Todd(the owner) immediately got me in and handled the replacement warranty and covered the labor costs, only asked for help paying for the alignment. Super fair, really fast service and I can't recommend them enough.
