America's largest 'personal shoe shopper' for your vehicle conducts Ultra High Performance Summer tire comparison test for drivers of sports cars, coupes and sedans in need of solid wet and dry traction, not facing wintry conditions
SOUTH BEND, Ind., Sept. 17, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- TireRack.com, America's largest independent tire tester and consumer-direct source for tires, wheels and performance accessories, released the fifth set of results from its 19th annual tire testing season which included a Ultra High Performance Summer tire comparison. Ultra High Performance Summer tires (developed for sports cars, plus sporty coupes and sedans not faced with winter's snow, slush and ice) are designed to deliver a solid blend of dry and wet traction, handling and outperform even the best Ultra High Performance All-Season tires in wet and dry conditions.
Designed for driving enthusiasts in need of sporty handling and not faced with winter's snow, slush and ice, these results show that the Ultra High Performance Summer tires tested deliver excellent handling and added performance. In this test, TireRack.com compared three of the top-rated established tires in the category, the BFGoodrich g-Force Sport COMP-2, Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sport and Yokohama S.drive with the all-new Dunlop Direzza DZ102. Full test results can be accessed for free by consumers at www.tirerack.com/uhpsummer.
To find out how the new and established tires in the category performed against each other, TireRack.com split the test into two components. First, experts at TireRack.com conducted a 6.0-mile Real World Road Ride followed by a Performance Test Track Drive at its state-of-the-art, 11.7-acre test facility using its BMW 3-Series test car. The short video of the results can be seen at www.tirerack.com/uhpsummervideo.
TireRack.com's experts drive on 35-40 different tires every test season (May to September), putting them through a battery of track and road tests that evaluate real-world and performance capabilities at the limits in both wet and dry conditions.
