UHP tires are an excellent choice if you want to optimize performance. The nicest thing about these tires is that they work well all year round, so you won't have to wait until summer to corner aggressively. We have given the Bridgestone Potenza RE980AS an outstanding average SimpleScore of 9.5 based on its features, a couple of them being a high W-speed rating and full-depth 3D sipes to improve braking on both dry and wet surfaces. The distinctive tire compound and asymmetric tread design further improve performance, enabling us to assign an average handling SimpleScore of 9.9. Here, the open shoulder slots contribute to good wet traction and hydroplaning resistance. This 245/35R18 tire has an amazing average traction SimpleScore of 9.9, attributed to its excellent dry and snow traction. With the Potenza RE980AS, Bridgestone offers a limited manufacturer guarantee of 50,000 miles, and the long-lasting compound extends tire life. Due to the above, we have given it an average longevity SimpleScore of 8.9.

The Continental ContiSportContact 5 is meant to provide great handling and turning performance as a high-quality tire. This summer tire offers great features and was found suitable for an excellent average SimpleScore of 9.3. It is manufactured using Continental’s unique Black Chili tread compound to provide great grip for improving handling and turning performance. This W-rated tire features a large footprint for short braking distances on luxury sedans and sports cars, making it ideal for a tremendous average handling SimpleScore of 9.9. The tread compound and the asymmetrical tread pattern are responsible for high dry and wet traction, resulting in a fabulous average traction SimpleScore of 9.9. Durable radial construction leads to longer tread life and Continental’s Total Confidence Plan offers Flat Tire Roadside Assistance, Customer Satisfaction Trial, Mileage Warranty, and Road Hazard. Based on the above, this 245/35R18 tire is suitable for an average longevity SimpleScore of 8.3. Do remember to make use of this 245/35R18 tire at temperatures above 45 degrees Fahrenheit for the best traction and performance.

Looking for comfortable all-season tires that are capable of high speeds and are also relatively affordable? Consider Lexani RFX Plus as a suitable option that ensures consistent handling and is also available with run-flat technology, resulting in an average SimpleScore of 8.2. Extra blades and grooves on the inner ribs and a unique silica-rich compound work in combination to generate traction. Four wide grooves get rid of water from the tread to prevent hydroplaning, and we have awarded the RFX Plus with an average traction SimpleScore of 8.2 as per the above. There is also a step-shaped pattern on the outer and inner tread blocks that generate additional grip. The large outer blocks put more rubber on the road to enhance controllability and handling performance, enabling this W-rated tire to get an average handling SimpleScore of 8.6. While the silica-rich compound decreases rolling resistance to improve fuel efficiency, a unique bead filler decreases heat generation to prevent uneven wear and tire separation in the absence of air. Run-flat technology keeps drivers secure as it allows them to drive at speeds lower than 50mph for up to 50 miles in the event of a sudden pressure loss. As a result, the RFX Plus is suitable for an average longevity SimpleScore of 7.5.

Japanese tire manufacturer Yokohama has created the Advan series of tires for great grip and performance, and one tire from this series is the Advan Sport A/S Plus. This UHP all-season tire features a rapid speed rating of W and can be awarded with an average SimpleScore of 8.8. The Yokohama Advan Sport A/S Plus displays an optimized sidewall and large shoulder blocks, both of which provide maximum control during turns. Crossovers like the Infiniti QX30 can brake quickly because of the high-performance rubber compound here, leading to an average handling SimpleScore of 8.7. There are wavy sipes and Z-shaped grooves to generate great dry and wet traction and to help us allot an average traction SimpleScore of 8.8. Four pitches of tread variation have been used on this affordable tire for a quiet ride. The limited manufacturer warranty here ranges from 27,500 miles for rear use on staggered fitments to 55,000 miles for front use on non-staggered fitments. Treadwear is hardly a strong point for any UHP tire, but this one does very well with an excellent average longevity SimpleScore of 9.1.

It features a unique rubber compound that increases grip for a safe braking distance. Wide grooves remove water from the tread to prevent hydroplaning and generate wet traction, and the total of the above two leads to an average traction SimpleScore of 8.6. For better handling capabilities, this Y-rated tire features a large contact patch and an increased shoulder that puts more rubber on the road. As a result, we have awarded the HTR Z5 an excellent average handling SimpleScore of 9.0.
