# Performance tires
Performance tires are commonly used on sports cars and performance-oriented vehicles. Ideal for use in above freezing temperatures, performance tires typically allow drivers to bring out the sporty handling, braking, and steering of their ride, and are able to perform in dry and wet conditions that are common with warmer weather. 

Performance tires are made by a variety of tire manufacturers, including <a title="Shop for Yokohama Performance Tires" href="/brands/yokohama-tires/categories/performance">Yokohama</a>, <a title="Shop for Bridgestone Performance Tires" href="/brands/bridgestone-tires/categories/performance">Bridgestone</a>, <a title="Shop for Toyo Performance Tires" href="/brands/toyo-tires/categories/performance">Toyo</a>, <a title="Shop for Pirelli Performance Tires" href="/brands/pirelli-tires/categories/performance">Pirelli</a> and <a title="Shop for Kumho Performance Tires" href="/brands/kumho-tires/categories/performance">Kumho</a>.
