Don't think about power first. Choosing tires is the most important thing in car tuning.

Jan 22, 2024

Pirelli has a famous advertising slogan: "Power is nothing without control." This is true for all forms of driving, because all that power is useless if you can't release it to the ground. In this article, I'll explain in detail how to choose the right tires and determine the right size.

Tires are an expensive consumable, but that shouldn't be a reason to diminish your vehicle's handling performance. Whether you're trying to break records and win races on the track or just trying to avoid accidents on the road, choosing the right tires can often be the deciding factor in determining the success of both.

 

When matching tires, we follow three main steps: selecting a tire category, determining tire size, and selecting tires.

Step 2: Determine the tire size

There are a few things to know when determining tire size

 

Tread design is a factor to consider when choosing a tire. The design will usually reflect its performance in the Tire Rack rating system, but beyond that, looking at the outer shoulder, rain grooves, and blade groove patterns will also give you a vague idea of ​​how they will perform. For track use, larger continuous outer tread blocks provide more grip and stability than smaller tread blocks, which tend to break off and clump. Larger tread blocks are more prone to slipping, while tires with many small tread blocks perform better in rainy and snowy weather.

 

Price is usually the main factor in choosing a tire. When you start comparing different tires, verify the tread width of each model, and if they are too narrow or too wide, go to the store to see if a slightly different size is a better fit.
