Better braking performance
Better Selection, Service & Value
If you’ve got a sedan, minivan, SUV or crossover, there are so many choices for tires out there that it can be downright confusing. Some drivers want a little more out of their vehicles, though, and for spirited driving styles, performance tires can be a great fit. At the Tire Terminal, we offer a selection of performance tires, and are more than happy to help you pick out the right performance tire for your budget.

What You Need To Know About Performance Tires
Performance tires are designed to get a car around the corners quicker, with truly phenomenal grip. The key to that kind of cornering ability is in the tread compound. Performance tires use a softer, “stickier” tread formulation that offers traction properties that all-season tires can’t begin to match.
Along with better traction, you’ll see improvements such as
Better steering response
Better interaction with modern traction control, vehicle stability, and ABS systems
Higher speed ratings
Great performance on wet pavement
The Right Time of Tear for Performance Tires
If you’re considering performance tires for your car, minivan, SUV or crossover, here’s one important caveat to bear in mind. The softer tread compounds of performance tires are derived from racing tires and deliver excellent traction, but they also tend to harden and stiffen up at lower temperatures.
Like their close counterparts “summer tires,” performance tires shouldn’t be used when temperatures are below 40 degrees F, or 4-5 degrees Celsius. Lower temperatures drastically reduce their traction and effectiveness.
Check Your Performance Tire Warranty
It’s also important to remember that the softer, stickier tires will wear faster, compared to touring tires. You can expect as much as 20,000 fewer kilometres from performance tires – some don’t even offer a treadwear warranty at all.

The business is huge, very professional people and they follow guidelines indeed I can see. The best thing is that you can watch your car on camera while they work on it so I felt comfortable all the time. My rim is very sensetive and it came out without any scratch. I patched my tire today. They are the cheapest among all other tire shops. Thank you Adam for letting me know about the touchless machine and for management. I will recommend this place to anyone who needs tire job on his wheels.

First time visiting The Tire Terminal and I wholeheartedly recommend this place. Process was very straightforward, I booked an appointment through their website, they send you a confirmation with a quote, once they receive the tires (they have a huge inventory) they’ll text you to let you know when to drop by. The guys working there are very nice and help you out with any questions and maybe it was the time of the year (January) but I was in and out in 20 minutes. Best part was I saved $300 over the price at the dealer. Whohoo!
