Max Performance Summer Change Category

Max Performance Summer tires are the peak summer tires for enthusiasts wanting to maximize their sports car, coupe, or sedan’s performance.

Built for strong traction, confident cornering, and responsive handling on both dry and wet roads, these tires are perfect for your BMW, Lexus, Acura, Tesla, Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, Chevy Corvette or Camaro, Dodge Challenger, Porsche 911, Ford Mustang, and other performance-focused vehicles. While summer tires excel in warm weather conditions, they are not designed to be driven in colder, near-freezing temperatures, including ice and snow (instead, opt for one of our winter-specific tires).

Ready for your new set of all-season tires or needing a seasonal tire changeover? Max Performance Summer tire installation is easy thanks to Tire Rack’s network of over 10,000 trusted nationwide tire installers or our Mobile Tire Installation service that delivers tire installation directly to you.
