…Tires in Cold Temperatures Like the motorsports tires they have evolved from, all Extreme Performance Summer performance category tires feature constructions and compounds that have been tuned to maximize traction and performance within a range of warm-to-hot ambient temperatures. Therefore, unlike…

…Tires in Cold Temperatures Like the motorsports tires they have evolved from, all Track & Competition DOT performance category tires feature constructions and compounds that have been tuned to maximize traction and performance within a range of warm-to-hot ambient temperatures. Therefore, unlike…

…is that here in Denver, we can have big changes in temperatures. It’s not uncommon to be able to wear short sleeves during February and March, while the ski resorts are getting pounded less than 80 miles away. Given the temperature range, are there any brands I should stay away from that get…

…material reaches elevated temperatures. Also important to note, the increased performance at elevated brake temperature levels will likely result in increased noise and dust at lower operating temperatures. A flat plateau of the Mu level across a wide temperature range indicates very consistent…

…traction in warm to hot ambient temperatures. They were never intended to experience near- and below-freezing temperatures, nor the wintry driving conditions that often accompany them. As ambient temperatures get colder, typically in the 40-45 Fahrenheit range, summer performance tires lose a…

…this statement, take a look at "Do Winter/Snow Tires Really Make a Difference?" Winter tires should be removed when warmer spring temperatures arrive and the threat of snow is gone for the rest of the season. If a driver wants to opt for a single set of tires to use year-round, but still…

…Lightweight vehicles with moderate horsepower may also use the A6 in cooler weather when they're not able to get the R6 up to the optimal temperature range of 180-200 degrees Fahrenheit . Drivers preparing to run Hoosier tires on the track should also read Hoosier's care and feeding…

…mount tires on wheels outside the tire size's recommended rim width range at the customer's request for track and competition, or off-road use only. These combinations outside the tire manufacturer s recommended rim width range are not for street use. The exception to this is Original Equipment…

…against the brake rotor surface as brake system temperature increases. The higher the Mu level, the more stopping power will be achieved for a given amount of brake pedal pressure. A flat plateau of the Mu level across a wide temperature range indicates very consistent brake performance on track.…

…cars. If your car weighs over 2,800 lbs. and has over 180HP, you should consider these pads. Hawk has improved the pedal feel, initial bite, temperature range and fade resistance when compared to the HPS. The High Performance Street 5.0 Brake Pads push the limits for street applications. They're…

…should be used for shorter runs only. R6 tires feature a more durable rubber compound that needs a little more time to come up to an ideal temperature range to be effective. This type of rubber compound makes the R6 better suited for longer runs with little cool down between sessions. For best…

…work in a broader range of temperatures while reducing the possibility of brake fade at higher temperatures. And if that's not enough, their high performance brake pads developed for "sport" and "track" use (Hawk HP Plus) continue to work in an even higher range of temperatures and further reduce…

…the most extreme temperature conditions. Given their higher temperature thresholds, most pads in this category are not well suited for street use as they need to be warmed up above ambient temperature to be effective. Within the category, there exist different ideal temperature ranges so the driver…
