For those lucky enough to be able to drive a sports car, there are up to three types of pneumatic tires to choose from; and it is necessary to identify the correct one based on the actual use that is going to be given to it. First of all, there is a circuit tire with homologation for the street. According to Euromaster, it is a very particular type of tire, since its compound and characteristics allow the full potential of a sports car to be extracted on a racing circuit. However, these types of wheels also have approval for open traffic, but maintain their competition ‘genes’.
From street or highway with circuit approval. This would be the opposite case to the previous one, in this case, in its construction the priority is to offer good tire performance according to the specific characteristics of the roads, but in addition, they have certain components that allow them to obtain the necessary approval to be able to use them on a circuit.

In this case, its tires have the most special characteristics, as they are capable of supporting a great weight in addition to offering good grip in the face of the lightning accelerations that this type of vehicles usually have, which deliver all the engine torque (the “force » of the car) as soon as you step on the accelerator.
In short, equipping a sports tire model that does not adapt to real needs directly affects the driving or behavior of the car itself and, therefore, its maintenance.
Likewise, Euromaster points out that the assembly of this type of covers entails some complexitysince they have a very low profile in most cases, a factor that implies using special machines and, above all, that the professional has a high degree of qualification.
