Performance Tires at Les Schwab
High and Ultra-High Performance (UHP) Sport Tires
Hugging corners, zipping through straightaways, and adding safety to every drive with shorter stopping distances takes the right type of tires. Especially when you drive a high-performance vehicle. Ultra-high performance (UHP) sport tires do the job right with wider, smoother tread blocks, and a tread pattern with shallow, straight grooves to keep more of your tires in contact with the road.
Our pros can help you find the perfect performance tires with the right speed rating and other features you need. Learn more about speed ratings here.

What to Consider When Buying Performance Tires
Depending on what you drive and the type of driving you like to do, performance and ultra-high performance sport tires offer a lot of benefits. These include:
- Exceptional traction on dry and wet roads. However, they are not designed for snow, ice, or mud.
- Responsive handling for cornering and stopping confidence.
- Added comfort and a quiet ride for some of today’s performance vehicles.
- Good looks that accentuate your sports car or performance vehicle.
What’s the Difference?
Choosing between high-performance and ultra-high-performance tires comes down to what you drive and what you want from your tires.
- Performance Tires balance tread life with a high level of handling and grip.
- Ultra-high Performance Tires give you extra grip. You’ll lose some fuel efficiency and comfort while experiencing some added road noise.
Why You Should Choose Performance Tires
Get a set of performance tires if you drive a sports car, exotic vehicle, a racing-style car, or electric vehicle (EV) that requires them. However, it’s important to consider the options. Are you willing to give up some gas mileage, tire life, comfort, and seasonal versatility for that added control, cornering, and stopping? The pros at Les Schwab can help you decide what’s right for you and your driving needs.
