Streetable Track Tires

Streetable Track Tires

Streetable track tires are DOT-approved competition-compound tires designed for drivers who regularly participate in track days, time attack events, and autocross while also needing to drive their vehicle to and from the event on public roads. These tires deliver near-race-level grip in a legal street tire construction that meets DOT requirements for road use.

Popular Streetable Track Tire Options

Popular streetable track tires include the Bridgestone Potenza RE-71RS, Falken RT660, Yokohama ADVAN A052, Federal 595 RS-RR, and Toyo Proxes R888R. These tires are available in popular sport car and track car sizes from 15 to 20-inch rim diameters, and provide contact patch widths and compound formulations designed to maximize lateral grip within the constraints of DOT construction requirements.

How do streetable track tires differ from extreme performance summer tires?

Streetable track tires use even softer compound formulations and lower void-to-lug ratios than extreme performance summer tires, providing higher peak lateral grip at the cost of wet weather traction and tread life. Most streetable track tires have a tread wear rating of 40 to 100 UTQG, compared to 200 to 400 for extreme performance summer tires, reflecting their focus on maximum grip over everyday durability. These tires are used up quickly on track and are typically budgeted as a consumable by enthusiast drivers.

Can streetable track tires be used in wet conditions?

Streetable track tires have significantly reduced wet weather traction compared to standard summer or all-season tires due to their low void-to-lug ratio and compound optimized for grip over water evacuation. Most are usable in light wet conditions but should be driven cautiously on wet roads and are not recommended in heavy rain or standing water. Driving streetable track tires in wet conditions at aggressive speeds significantly increases the risk of hydroplaning and loss of control.
