Fantastic Technology

The technology found in the tires we have available to sell today is absolutely fantastic! Although they may appear to be just a hunk of black rubber, the engineering innovations and the materials would have been science fiction a decade ago.

First, the performance is amazing. "Y" speed rated tires--capable of sustained speeds up to 186 mph--are common. Imagine how many times the sidewalls of your tire must flex as you drive and then consider how much heat must build up at such high speeds. Unbelievable!

We have winter tires. Multi-siped specialty tires that offer solid grip on icy roads and under snowy conditions--a far cry from snow tires of yesterday.

Run-flat tires offer the ability to support a vehicle at speeds of 50 mph for 50 miles of driving--with no air in the tire!

Mileage warranties of 60,000 miles on W-rated high performance tires are not uncommon. All-season tires in V, W and Y ratings allow drivers to get great handling and performance year around. High tech materials such as Kevlar and Carbon Fiber are appearing in tires now.

All said, today's tires ride quieter, last longer, and give better performance at higher speeds then ever before. capabilities that weren't even thought of several decades ago are common. And we have more manufacturers from which to choose.

We have great products to sell. They are better then what any tire salesman has ever had to sell. You need to get excited about them, learn about them and communicate their features and benefits to the customer!
