What makes a tire high-performance?

Rule No. 10: Treat road trips differently than the daily commute
Long-mileage journeys place unique demands on your tires, and there’s nothing worse than a long journey getting derailed by a blowout in an unfamiliar place.
Rule No. 9: Put stock in the features that actually matter
The tires you’re choosing between each have their own strengths and weaknesses. With that in mind, rule No. 9 is to put stock in the tire features that actually matter.
Rule No. 8: Make sure your tires fit your vehicle
If your tires fit your vehicle, you’ll reap a number of benefits, including safety, efficiency and comfort.
Rule No. 7: When you're choosing tires, trust the experts
People who work in your tire shop know their stuff. Tires are more complicated than they let on, and having an expert on your side helps you filter through the confusion.
Rule No. 6: Much of a tire's quality is determined before it ever touches the road
Want to know what you’re going to get out of your tires? Pay attention to what goes in them.
Rule No. 5: Winter tires don't belong on spring and summer roads
As the inventor of the winter tire, we're proud to make some of the best winter products. But the very features that make tires safe and precise on snow and ice can cause serious issues once temperatures turn consistently warm.
Rule No. 4: Tires are only as safe as their maintenance
How can you keep your tires in top shape? Here are some easy tips.
Rule No. 3: Tires can be sustainable without sacrificing safety
Your choice of tires has an impact on the environment, but it doesn’t have to impact your safety on the road.
Rule No. 2: High-quality tires are worth the investment
There’s one place where price should NOT be your first priority: the tire shop. That’s because there are a number of other important factors to consider, many of which can possibly keep you safer on the road -- and even help you save time and money on the back end.
Rule No. 1: Purchase tires that suit your climate
Even if you bought the most expensive set of tires, they may have been the wrong choice.
