Circuit tires are built to withstand the rigors of high-speed racing and therefore maintain a high level of grip on both dry and wet surfaces of the tracks. The tread patterns and rubber compounds used to make them are designed to ensure the car’s tires do not lose traction which would cause a driver to lose control of the vehicle during sharp turns or immediate stops. Performance tires provide good grip as well, but they are designed to provide a comfortable driving experience as well as perform satisfactorily during high spirited motoring on the public roads.
