I have racing tires on my car, if I get all weather tires will it slow down my cars speed performance?

When I bought this sports coupe of mine, it had racing tires already on them. I never changed the tires. However, the grip is kind of bad when it rains, so I just drive extremely slow and cautious. During the dry times, that car is so fast. Anyway, If I get all weather tires for safety purposes will it decline my cars speed performance on the road or will it not have an effect on it?

If you're driving fast enough on public roads that you need racing tires, you're going to die anyway, so who cares?

Why do you need racing tires on your car? Do you win a trophy and prize money for getting to the market before somebody else?

Your car will not stop as fast. At very high speeds for long periods of driving your new tires will get much hotter than the racing tires. The new tires will last much longer.

Racing tires have less resistance to the road, thus the performance. All-weather tires may slow it a bit but not significantly.

Well Einstein,

Inclement weather would necessitate slower speeds now wouldn't it ???

All season tires' tread patterns wick water better, to give you better handling and their rubber is harder to last longer. These also gives you a smoother more quiet ride.

Race tires are sticky due to softer rubber and aggressive tread pattern. Their stiffer construction handles extra G forces, harder stops and starts.

Just talk to your local tire store and tell them how you drive....~HINT~ What do your local cops use!!!

it will have an effect of course, but your talking seconds not hours. and you won't have the same amount of grip on the road as you get with racing Tire's. but seriously are you in that much of a hurry??

If you drive like a normal person, and not like a nascar driver, then it should be fine. But they wouldn't call them racing tires if they didn't help your performance.

There are more important things in life...like living. Try only putting the race tires on it when you are doing LEGAL drag races
