Tires are essential to an automobile's functioning. Tires are made out of rubber that provides traction against the rim (wheel) acts as a buffer bewteen the imperfections of the road and the car. The best car tires for any automobile are those that suit the car, the rims and the surface being driven on.

Performance tires are designed for cars that drive at high speeds. Composed of a softer rubber for traction, performance tires are sometimes called summer tires due to the fact that they do not provide adequate traction in the wet weather.

Winter tires improve auto performance during winter weather. The rubber is softer and provides a better grip for ice and snow driving. Winter tires often have grooves in the tread and are designed to handle unevenness and ice.

All-terrain tires provide balance off-road and on-road capability. They are fitted and they offer adequatre traction for minor off road excursions and low noise levels for road driving.

Mud tires are large with chunky patterns designed to bite into mud and grip difficult terraine. The tires have a design that allows mud to clear itself out from between the lugs. Mud terrain tires are not well suited for on-road use as they are noisy and ill-equipped for slick roads.
