[ "How are performance tyres different from their counterparts?A performance tyre is a tyre with specificcharacteristics suited to high levels of driving dynamics. Their structure andcompounds are made for this type of use. Performance Pirelli Tyres Stone are not suitable for everyday use since theirgrip level is less on wet or slippery surfaces, the ride comfort may beimpaired on some roads, and they wear out more quicklyPerformance tyres are characterized by shorter brakingdistances on dry surfaces, which also decrease resistance against aquaplaning.The adhesive bond between the rubber compound and road surface allows increasedacceleration through corners at high speedTypes of performance tyre:Sports tyres / Sporty tyres / GT tyres;-Supersport or super sports tyres - Hyper Sport or hypercar tyre;Racing slicks (slick tyres) -;Track day tyres;Sports tyres (non-run-flat)Sports tyres are characterized by significantly lessrolling resistance and a dynamic solid lateral grip. Their tread profileconsists of many longitudinal grooves that allow the water to escape frombeneath the tyre and improve wet grip. Sports tyres have excellent handlingcharacteristics and braking performance thanks to an increased contact surfaceand low deformation on dry surfaces. Sports tyres only conform to ECErequirements for everyday road useSupersport or super sports tyres:Supersport or supersport tyres provide maximum drivingquality on dry surfaces, making them particularly suitable for a track day.They offer superb cornering stability, very high deceleration values (grippower), and howling-free driving during acceleration. Their tread profileconsists of a large number of circumferential grooves which evacuate the waterfrom beneath the tyre and improve wet grip. Since they only conform to ECErequirements, supersport tyres are not suitable for use on public roadsHyper Sport or hypercar tires:The structure and rubber compound of Hyper Sport tyresprovide maximum road holding even at very high speeds. They have been designedto optimize steering response, reduce vibrations from uneven surfaces, andensure excellent braking performance with no brake fade. The tread patternfeatures a minimal contact area at low inflation pressures to minimize rollingresistance. As a result, fuel consumption is high when compared to other tyres.Hyper sport tyres only conform to ECE requirements, so they are not suitablefor public roadsRacing slicks (slick tyres):Slick tyres have a tread pattern consisting offine longitudinal grooves that do not go beyond the tyre's sidewall. Unlikeperformance road tyres, slick tyres have a tiny contact area on the bitumen andthus offer low rolling resistanceThey can be made from either natural or synthetic rubbercompounds, and they're most often reserved for motorsports use, notably inFormula 1, but also in rallies, ice racing, motorcycle sport, etc. Since theirreduction of grip on wet surfaces is significantly higher than that of regularroad tyres, slick tyres Stone cansometimes be dangerous when used on public roads. Therefore it is prohibited touse them on public roads, and their usage is limited to tracksTrack day tyres:Track day (often called treaded or street legalslicks) tyres are specially designed for only track use. Their structure andrubber compound offers maximum grip on dry surfaces without reducing the tiresendurance capabilities.Another typical characteristic is a 'shortershift' between wet and dry grip, meaning while cornering at high speeds on atrack, the tyre will 'shift' towards the grip level of wet tyres instead ofstaying at the dry grip limitOn public roads, track day tyres have meagerrolling resistance and minimized braking distances, but they have been designedto offer minimal lateral grip. This means that cornering speeds on public roadscan be dangerously high, with potentially dangerous consequences for both cardrivers and pedestrians.Furthermore, driving on standard road tyres exposesthe driver to greater risk during an emergency braking maneuver because there'sno margin of safety due to increased grip. For these reasons, using track daytyres on public roads is prohibited by law in most countries -- exceptionsinclude Germany and Japan, where it is permitted to drive slicks between Mondayand Friday from 7 AM to 9 PM." ]
