In the world of competitive motorsports, any advantage is usually a big advantage. And when the Vitour Temepsta P1 tire broke onto the scene a while back, it didn’t take long for both professional and grassroots racers to take notice of this new streetable track tire.
Pretty soon after its introduction, the Temepsta P1 started showing up at events ranging from big-buck track days to regional autocross runs, and it has since been approved for SCCA, GRIDLIFE, and Ultimate Streetcar competition.
It’s pretty easy to understand why.
For starters, these tires can be had in a wide range of sizes—and we’re stressing the word “wide” here. With a larger tread width than many comparable tires, the Tempesta P1 offers an extra large footprint, which in this context, directly translates to grip.
Testing has shown that these tires can cut lap times without compromising longevity—and that’s a win-win in our book. Made by Vitour, these DOT-approved tires boast a 200 UTQG treadwear rating, making them ideal for a weekend track toy, and yet they’re still easy to live with on the street.
