If you want to shave seconds at the strip or stay planted through a fast corner, nothing matters more than traction. You can bolt on all the horsepower in the world, but without the right set of high-performance tires, you’re just spinning your wheels. Suspension plays a big role, too, but it's the rubber hitting the pavement that turns raw power into real performance.
It's time to move away from those stock tires. At Lethal Performance, we proudly carry a killer lineup of high-performance tires to get you cooking on the track. Sticky compounds, drag radials, R-compound track tires, or ultra-high-performance street options - we’ve got them all from trusted names like Mickey Thompson, Hoosier, Nitto, Toyo, and more. Let’s find the right set of tires to match your setup and your goals.
Not every set of high-performance tires is built for the same job. From soft-compound slicks to Ultra-High-Performance (UHP) all-rounders, our selection of car tires for sale online covers every kind of driving style and surface.
Perfect for street/strip cars that see weekend track action. These tires hook hard off the line but still offer just enough manners on the street to get you home. Most drag radials are DOT-approved and streetable, but always check the manufacturer’s specs for your size. Look for options from Mickey Thompson, Nitto, and Hoosier if you’re chasing serious 60-foot times.
Going full-send at the strip? Slicks are the way to go. With zero tread and ultra-soft compounds, these tires are built for maximum straight-line grip. Note: most slicks are not DOT-approved for street use. Mickey Thompson and Hoosier have been dragstrip staples for decades, and for good reason.
If cornering grip is your game, R-compound tires bring race-ready performance. These are ideal for road course warriors and autocross setups that demand sharp turn-in, consistent feel, and serious lateral grip. Toyo and Nitto have strong options here, whether you're building a time attack machine or a dual-duty track car.
Want performance without compromising daily drivability? UHP tires offer excellent dry traction, respectable wet performance, and good tread life. Great for spirited street driving, weekend cruises, and cars that need grip year-round. Look to brands like Pirelli, BFGoodrich, Hankook, and Continental for reliable, road-ready options.
High-performance tires aren’t just a cosmetic upgrade. Before you throw a set of drag radials or R-compounds on your ride, it’s worth asking: Is your build ready for this kind of grip?
If you’re running bolt-ons and a mild tune, jumping straight to a sticky tire might not give you the gains you’re expecting. In fact, aggressive tires on a low-power setup can bog your launch, strain your driveline, or just wear out faster without any real benefits. High-performance tires shine when there's enough horsepower—and the suspension setup—to take full advantage of them.
Here’s a quick gut check:
If the answer to any of these is yes, it might be time to invest in some new tires. But if you’re still in the early stages of your build, a good UHP street tire might give you better results and save your wallet some pain.
If you're not sure what your setup calls for, that's what we're here for. Our team knows what works, what doesn't, and how to help you put down the power without wasting rubber. From mild to wild, we’ve got car tires for sale online to help you hook, launch, and carve like your build was meant to.

Watch the video and see for yourself what a lethal combo really looks like.
Got questions about high-performance tires for sale at Lethal? Whether you're chasing lap times or just looking to upgrade your street setup, these FAQs break down what you need to know before you buy.
High-performance tires are engineered with stickier rubber compounds, reinforced sidewalls, and specialized tread patterns to maximize grip, responsiveness, and speed. They’re built for performance driving, whether that’s drag racing, canyon carving, or road course action.
Some ultra high-performance tires are fine for daily use in warmer climates, but most are not ideal for cold weather or snow. If you plan to run them year-round, look for all-season UHP options or switch to a dedicated winter tire when the temps drop.
They don’t need exotic care, but regular inspections, correct air pressure, and proper alignment are critical. Because they wear faster, keeping an eye on rotation and tire condition will help you get the most out of your set.
When it’s time to put the power down, Lethal Performance has the tires for sale online to make it happen. We’ve got the brands you trust, the specs that fit, and the know-how to help you pick the perfect set for your build. Shop with confidence and get the traction your car and your goals deserve.
