Focus on the general requirements for street tires, in addition to the daily traffic has required a good grip and drainage, but nothing more than comfort, durability and quietness these items to the current tire manufacturing technology, street tires provided the grip from the tread contact with the road surface friction generated in this area with rubber formulations have closely relationship, and usually more soft rubber material grip it better, but relatively speaking, the more easy to wear, so each tire manufacturers are all brains to study for rubber material, can try to find balance between grip and durability of the rubber good recipe. The comfort aspect is concerned with the structure of the tire, especially in the bead (sidewall) of the portion, in the same size tires, tire wall strength greater the more hard deformation amount represents the less, relatively speaking tire itself the shock-absorbing effect is not as good as the softer tire wall, but the softer tire wall, while providing a more comfortable sense of the road, but it is not as good as in the control of the former to well. In terms of drainage and quiet, it is concerned with the tread groove design, usually street tire for better drainage and quietness, will tread design is more complex, but this is relatively complicated births tire block area will be smaller pattern, not as good as the big tire grip design blocks more superior. Tires can be divided into street tires, performance tires and slicks these types, buy tires must be in accordance with the habits and needs of the car to pick and choose, but the race car tires is limited to use in general road tires definitely not suitable for this section . In contrast, racing tires, it's main task is to provide maximum grip and vehicle handling on street tires required for drainage, the comfort, durability and quietness are not the focus, so the design of the the starting point is completely different. After racing tires in order to provide the best grip, in addition to the use of a softer rubber to produce a greater friction on the road, and the other with street tires, the biggest difference is that this one but the rubber tires reach operating temperature there will be melted to produce the phenomenon of viscosity, thereby allow further enhance grip, so this tire is also known as "slicks."
