Tire Rack Street Survival®, a national non-profit teen driving program,
teaches teens skills that will help them stay alive behind the wheel.
Teenagers learn from knowledgeable enthusiast driving coaches how
their actions govern a car’s responses, what the limits of their vehicles
are and how to avoid accidents entirely.
Unlike traditional driver education programs based on classroom theory
and simple vehicle maneuvers, the Tire Rack Street Survival® program
improves driver competence through challenging, hands-on experiences
in real-world driving situations in a vehicle they know – their own.
Working with local members of the BMW Car Club of America, Sports
Car Club of America, Porsche Club of America, Corvette Club and other
like-minded enthusiast organizations, Tire Rack Street Survival® utilizes
local, knowledgeable volunteers to conduct a program that in 2014 will
result in over 100 days of instruction across the country.
• In 2013, 101 Tire Rack Street Survival schools provided
real-world experience to almost 2,605 teen drivers.
• Over 2,500 volunteers who are local, knowledgeable
enthusiasts, invested in the lives of teens in 2013.

mendations for
Summer tires are designed to provide traction
and performance on dry and wet roads through
spring, summer and fall, however they are not
intended to be used in winter’s cold snow or
on ice. Conversely, the all-season tread designs
and compounds that remain more flexible in
cold weather to provide year-round capability typically sacrifice some dry and wet road
performance to provide light snow traction. Our
customers who drive in snow for much of the
winter prefer driving on dedicated winter/snow
tires even if they normally use all-season tires
the rest of the year.

HOW ABOUT A
TEST DRIVE?
Want to test drive the newest street tires before you
buy them? While it sounds like a great idea, it would
be a challenging proposition.
TIRE RACK TEST TRACK
at our South Bend, IN headquarters
That’s where Tire Rack comes in.
Our tire testing program allows our team to get behind the wheel to do what our customers can’t. Our test drivers (sales and other product information specialists) compare
up to 40 different tires each year. This gives them more firsthand tire experience in
one testing season than most drivers will get in a lifetime. The best part of our testing
program is that it allows our team to share their experiences with you when you call or
read the test reports on tirerack.com.
Our back-to-back test format allows our team to experience a group of products in a
short period of time under controlled conditions. To assure each tire gets a fair comparison we use identical vehicles, the same Real World Road Ride route and the same
Performance Test Track course. During each evaluation the only thing that changes
are the tires we’re testing.
www.tirerack.com/testtrack
■
SEGMENT 1 • THE SLALOM
A 5-cone slalom is used to evaluate each tire’s
steering response and transitional handling
during quick right-left-right maneuvers.
■
SEGMENT 2 • S CURVES
A series of flowing turns that increase in radius
confirm each tire’s contribution to steady-state
cornering balance, traction and stability.
■
SEGMENT 3 • THRESHOLD BRAKING
Applying the brakes
hard and fast at highway
speeds, we test the tire’s
overall braking traction.
CONSISTENT WET
TESTING SYSTEM
PERFORMANCE TEST TRACK DRIVE
Our purpose
purpose-built
built test track provides test drivers with a safe environmen
environment to experience
how well tires behave at their limit when asked to avoid an accident on the road or during competition on a track. The course has been designed to challenge the tire’s steering
response, handling characteristics and braking capabilities.
We time how long it takes to complete full laps, as well as selected track segments to
quantify the tire’s contribution to the vehicle’s performance. And after running multiple
laps, our test drivers provide subjective feedback on each tire’s controllability at the limit.
While tires may
deliver similar
dry performance,
wet conditions
are often the
tiebreaker when it
comes to rating overall performance.
REAL WORLD ROAD RIDE
Our driving loop includes county roads, state highways and an expressway to
reveal each tire’s everyday handling, ride comfort and noise qualities, as well
as the tire’s influence on the vehicle’s fuel economy.
Vehicle conditions that could affect the experience are kept to a minimum with
the radio off, windows up and climate control fan on its lowest setting. This
allows our team to focus on each product without unnecessary distractions.
6 www.tirerack.com/insidetrack 800-981-3783
DRIVING CONDITIONS
Where you live often influences which types of tires are most appropriate for you.
Drivers living in the South typically experience dry and wet roads, but seldom
encounter snow and ice. And drivers living in the North will experience months of
freezing temperatures and the full range of Mother Nature’s fury.
SEE HOW WE DO IT
www.tirerack.com/videos
So we test in warm, dry and wet conditions. A sprinkler system on our test track
allows us to test traction, handling and braking under consistent wet road conditions
equivalent to a typical Indiana rain shower. This combination of dry and wet
road conditions does a good job of challenging a tire’s three-season
capabilities (spring, summer and fall).
Watch testing videos in
our Video Center.
You can also read the
full test reports to see
what we learned and
compare the results.
Winter’s snow, ice and slush add
another challenge to what you
face as a driver, and what
your tires have to cope
with. So in 2012 we
added dedicated snow
and ice testing to our
program, evaluating
acceleration, braking
and handling for every
all-season and winter
tire we test.
Max Performance Summer
We realize not every driver using allseason tires drives them in snow, so our test
results separate out the winter weather performance
ratings from the overall road manners plus dry and wet performance results that
apply to every driver. This way you can decide what is most important to you.

PROTECTING YOUR INVESTMENT
PROPER TIRE MAINTENANCE
CHECK TIRE PRESSURES
Improper inflation pressures can cause uneven tire wear, upset vehicle handling and reduce
fuel economy, as well as lead to permanent internal damage.
www.tirerack.com/checkpressure
MAINTAIN PROPER WHEEL ALIGNMENT
Your vehicle’s wheel alignment sets the angles that your tires come into contact with the
road and influence the way your vehicle drives and how long your tires last.
www.tirerack.com/alignment
ROTATE YOUR TIRES OFTEN
See Air Pressure Gauges on Page 66
The different demands at each wheel position cause different tire wear rates. Check your
owner’s manual for the tire rotation pattern recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.

Tire Rack has developed a general guide to help
you quickly determine a brake pad’s key features.
Using a five-symbol system in three key areas, you
can quickly determine a pad material’s strengths
and weaknesses in the categories that consumers
have told us matter the most. The general ratings
are based on the results of Tire Rack’s product
testing and consumer feedback.
Stopping Power
Low Noise
Low Dust
Performance Street
Use this pad type if you are an enthusiast driver who operates
your vehicle in a spirited manner on the street and desires a
noticeable increase in brake performance versus your Original
Equipment brake pads. A moderate increase in brake dust and
noise may occur depending on the vehicle application.
The reassuring feeling a driver gets when applying the brakes from moderate to high speeds is
the driver’s measure of stopping power. Higher
scores equal greater than O.E. stopping power.
• Akebono Performance
Low Noise
• StopTech Street Performance
• Hawk HPS
Autocross/Track
Use this pad type if you are participating in high-speed
track events, lapping days or wheel-to-wheel competition.
The aggressive nature of the friction material is not
recommended for street use, but will provide extreme
stopping power and fade resistance on the track.
(Hawk HP Plus may be driven to the track, but is not
recommended for daily street driving.)
• Hawk Black
• Hawk Blue 9012
• Hawk DTC-60
• Hawk DTC-70
• Hawk HP Plus
• Hawk HT-10 / HT-14
Truck & SUV
Use this pad type if you have installed
a larger diameter Tire & Wheel
Package, you often tow or heavily
load your light truck or SUV and
desire additional stopping power and
fade resistance.
• Hawk HP SuperDuty
• Hawk LTS
Stopping Power
Modern brake pads and caliper systems are
engineered with several different features to
reduce brake squeal. Brake pads with higher
scores in this category have these features and
perform with little to no brake noise when
installed properly.
Low Dust
While all brake pad friction material generates dust as it stops a vehicle, some brake pads
produce more visible dust than others. Generally,
a pad with higher friction levels and operating
temperature range will produce higher dust levels. Pads that produce lower amounts of dust
will receive the highest scores in this category.
WARNING: BRAKES ARE A SAFETYCRITICAL PART OF A MOTOR VEHICLE
Brake components should be installed by a
competent mechanic in a professional manner.
Any incorrect installation of brake components
can cause a major safety problem or an accident.
If you are not a competent, qualified mechanic
you should not attempt to install these products,
but should take the vehicle to a vehicle dealer
or competent automotive mechanic for their
installation. In some cases, servicing or replacing
brake hardware at the time of rotor installation
may also be required. Brake rotors are wear items
and as such, should be inspected regularly and
replaced as necessary.
Street & Highway Use: Brake pads should
typically be replaced when approximately 1/8"
to 3/16" of friction material remains on the
steel backing plate. Brake rotors should be
replaced before their thickness has reached the
prescribed “Worn Rotor Minimum Thickness”
limit (expressed in mm) engraved on the edge of
the brake disc. Plain rotors may be turned on a
brake lathe to remove scoring and to true the disc
surfaces until this minimum thickness has been
reached. Drilled and slotted rotors may not be
able to be turned and should be replaced if they
become scored.
Track & Competition Use: Due to the extremes
of heat and pressure encountered by brake systems
used for track and competition applications, all
brake system components (pads, rotors, calipers,
lines, hardware and fluid) must be compatible and
should be inspected between sessions. Brake pads
and rotors should be replaced before they reach the
wear limits described above.

confidence-inspiring responsiveness.
Without disturbing the vehicle’s stock front-to-rear brake torque ratio, StopTech’s
Balanced Brake Upgrade® design precisely apportions front and rear braking
resources while factoring in the vehicle’s weight transfer under braking. Shorter
stopping distances, increased tire traction and improved control of brake input are
ensured via this design philosophy.
In most cases, the aluminum calipers are available in
black or red finishes.

H&R Springs are the highest quality available, but even more important
is the tuning that goes into each custom-matched set. Depending on
the application, most H&R springs are genuine progressive springs for a
smooth ride and proper bump absorption. The spring rate increases as
they compress for enhanced cornering response, better body control and
reduced dive and squat.

PARTNER OF THE SCCA
The Tire Rack SCCA Starting Line school is a partnership between the Sports
Car Club of America and Tire Rack to give automotive enthusiasts at every level
a professional, all-inclusive entry into the sport of performance driving (and the
chance to have some fun with their cars).
The 2014 season marks Tire Rack’s 20th year as the
title sponsor of the National Sports Car Club of America

a vehicle by simply strapping on a helmet and buckling
your seatbelt. The SCCA Solo program separates cars
into classes based on their performance potential
and offers driving enthusiasts local events across the
country in which to participate.
Starting Line participants leave ready for motorsports competition if that’s where
their interest takes them, but everyone gains an understanding of the capabilities
of their vehicle and is given the opportunity to have a little fun with it.

In 2014 Tire Rack celebrates its 16th year
as the title sponsor of the BMW CCA Club
Racing Series. Over 30 series events
held across the U.S. and Canada now involve
more than 800 licensed racers. For those
that are new to track competition there are
a number of Club Racing Schools that help
provide the experience necessary to ensure
a safe, fun and competitive event for all
interested novices.
The 2014 Tire Rack One Lap of America will be the
31st running of Brock Yates’ extreme challenge for
driving enthusiasts. Featuring eight days of competition
between many of North America’s fastest street-legal
cars, it will challenge the teams to compete and complete
19 timed competition events and over 3,200 miles during
172 hours of skid pad, autocross, drag strip, racetrack
and highway transit! It’s an eight-day pentathlon event for
driving enthusiasts.
Competition begins at Tire Rack in South Bend, Indiana on Saturday, May 3rd, at
8:00 a.m. when Tire Rack will host One Lap of America competitors to a Wet Skid Pad
Challenge. They will return to Tire Rack for the final competitive event on Saturday,
May 10th from 9:00 a.m. until noon for a Dry Skid Pad Challenge, followed by the now
famous victory tire burnout celebration. Spectators are welcome to visit Tire Rack in
South Bend, Indiana to see the cars during their final preparation and to watch the
skid pad events. Admission and parking are free.
