Performance Wheels & Tires for Birmingham Drivers
Performance wheels and tires can have a significant impact on the performance of your car. They are designed to improve handling, braking, and overall stability, making your vehicle more responsive and capable on the road or track.
Performance wheels are typically made from lightweight materials such as aluminum or carbon fiber. These materials reduce the weight of the wheel, which in turn reduces the unsprung weight of the vehicle. This improves handling and acceleration, as the vehicle’s suspension can react more quickly to changes in the road surface. The wheels are also wider and have a larger diameter than standard wheels, which allows for better grip and stability.
Better Grip, Handling, and Stability
Performance tires are specially designed to provide maximum grip and handling. They have a softer rubber compound than standard tires, which allows for better traction and braking. The tread pattern is also optimized for performance driving, with larger blocks and wider channels to displace water and provide better grip in wet conditions.
Performance tires also have a lower profile, which reduces the distance between the wheel and the ground. This improves handling and stability, and also gives the car a more aggressive stance.
Stay in Control
One of the most notable benefits of performance wheels and tires is improved traction and grip. This is especially important when driving at high speeds, as it allows for better control of the vehicle and reduces the risk of skidding or losing control. The improved grip also allows for shorter braking distances, which is important when driving on the track or in high-performance situations.
They Look Good
Performance wheels and tires also have an aesthetic benefit, as they can improve the appearance of a vehicle. They are available in a wide range of styles and sizes, and can be customized to match a vehicle’s overall look.
When purchasing performance wheels and tires, it is essential to ensure that they are compatible with your vehicle. Our performance experts will check the size, offset, and bolt pattern of the wheels to ensure that they will fit your car properly. It’s also important to ensure that the tires are rated for the specific type of driving you will be doing.
Our Master Mechanics are at Your Service
Installing performance wheels and tires is a task that should be performed by a professional. Improper installation can lead to serious issues such as imbalance, vibration, and uneven wear. Our professional mechanics will also properly balance and align your new performance wheels and tires, which is essential for optimal performance and your driving pleasure.
