The Extreme Performance Summer test is THE test performance enthusiast and our testers look forward to every season, and this two-part test is no exception!
EP tires wear two distinct hats. They’re great on sporty and high horsepower vehicles conquering the everyday road and on those same vehicles as they dominate in various races and track days. The nuances here are many as increased traction and performance in one of these arenas can mean a tradeoff elsewhere. This two-part test lays it all bare and reveals just how close, but different, this category can be! Watch part two of this test: youtu.be/9YQl_oRv1ZA
