While circuit and drag tires are both used in motorsports, each has its own unique application. Circuit tires are designed to provide stability and traction while traversing through turns and curvy sections of the racetrack and have specific tread patterns. Drag tires, on the other hand, are used to create intense acceleration in straight lines, and are made of a softer compound. Differentiating these aspects is imperative for racers who want to achieve optimum performance as choosing improper tyres may adversely affect lap times and overall performance in the race.
