Tire Requirements & Guidelines

The newer generations of driving school driver’s often bring vehicles whose performance is far beyond their driving ability, because of this the Drivers Edge Board of directors passed the following resolution that requires the vehicle to more closely match the driver's ability.

Green and Non-solo Blue drivers:

• Vehicle must be currently Registered and Street Legal.
• Vehicle must be currently insured.
• Vehicle must have Approved Street Tires with V, W, Y or Z speed ratings.
• Tires must have a tread wear rating of 120 and above.

Exceptions: UNLESS said tires are OEM for said specific car.

All other drivers can run Race Tires:

A driver with out proper training before going to race tires is at a disadvantage, race tire mask many mistakes, don’t allow proper training, and create a safety hazard to lower level drivers, their instructors and others on the track.

Tire Speed Rating:

Tires with a “H speed rating or below” (H,U,T & S) will NOT be allowed on track. These tires speed ratings are too low for track use and jeopardizes safety.

Y 186 mph 

W 168 mph

Z: in excess of 149 mph

V 149 mph

H 130 mph

U 124 mph

T 118 mph

S 112 mph

Please feel free to call with any questions.

See YOU at the track,
