I Need High Performance Tires

I Need High Performance Tires

By:


The internet is a valuable tool for research into any problems I may experience. My motoring interests have changed from year to year. I have had hot hatches through to sports cars and jeeps. You name it I have owned just about every type of car.

I have been quite fortunate recently to have a large salary increase. This has allowed me to purchase a new car, well a two year old car, but new to me. I have decided to purchase a lovely twin turbo Nissan skyline. It is the fastest road legal production car in the world to date. It is in excess of five hundred brake horse power (BHP) when you think a formula one car is just on one thousand BHP then my road car is up there with the best. I have plans to super chip the car to increase the BHP to a mind blowing six hundred and fifty. This will be disabled when I drive on the public roads, when I visit my club and we have track days, with just a flick of a switch on my dash board I will have the fastest car there.

My first race day came and went, I was so disappointed in the performance of my sky line, on the straight she ran like a dream however whilst cornering she drifted uncontrollably. I need some help in finding out why. Well it would appear the standard tires on my Sky line are not the correct speed rating for my super chipped car. The highest rating on a tire for a normal production car is ZR this is related to the speed. My cars top speed exceeds the top speed rating of this ZR tire so I need to find a more high performance tire before my next race meeting.

Looking on the internet having Googled high performance tires, I uncovered 75 880,000 results. I would need to reduce the key words or change my search. I searched for racing tires bringing me 21 700,000 results. I have some reading to do. I did find a mail order shop who dealt only with Nissan Sky lines, they had a lovely set of high performance wheels and tires. I would need to change them over on the race track. Their speed rating and performance is so high the tires are not street legal.

If you ever change your sports car from the manufactures specifications then please check you high performance tires can cope.

It is interesting that my Norwegian colleagues use the term sommerdekk for summer tires.
