Purchasing Performance Tires at Automotive Center of Mandeville
What Are Performance Tires?
Performance tires are specifically designed to enhance a vehicle's handling, grip, and traction at higher speeds. These tires are engineered for improved responsiveness and better cornering ability, making them popular among sports car enthusiasts and drivers seeking enhanced performance on the road.
Key Features of Performance Tires
Enhanced Traction
Performance tires often have specialized tread patterns that offer superior grip and traction, especially during acceleration, braking, and cornering. This feature allows for better control and stability, particularly when driving at higher speeds or on challenging road surfaces.
Stiffer Construction
These tires are built with a stiffer sidewall and tread for improved responsiveness and handling. The stiffer construction helps reduce the tire's deformation during high-speed maneuvers, resulting in more precise steering and better overall control.
High-Speed Durability
Performance tires are designed to withstand the rigors of high-speed driving, maintaining stability and durability even under demanding conditions. They are often constructed with advanced materials and specialized compounds that provide increased durability and heat resistance.
Optimized Tread Patterns
The tread patterns of performance tires are engineered to provide optimal contact with the road surface, maximizing grip and enhancing overall performance. These specialized patterns can also contribute to improved water dispersion, reducing the risk of hydroplaning in wet conditions.
While performance tires excel in delivering enhanced driving dynamics and handling, they may offer a firmer ride quality compared to standard tires, and they may have a shorter lifespan due to their softer rubber compounds. Regular maintenance and appropriate driving habits are essential to ensure the longevity and optimal performance of these tires.

What Our Customers Are Saying
I just wanted to share my experience for anyone else who may find themselves in a similar position. I was told by my dealership that I needed a rather immediate brake job done, amongst a laundry list of other things. I reached out to Jason first by calling - he was kind, courteous, thorough, and went out of his way to explain things to me regarding the (many) questions I had. I wanted to have someone else take a look at my brakes to see if I truly needed them replaced. I did wind up bringing my vehicle by, which he had his mechanic look at: turns out, replacing brake pads/rotors/etc was NOT dire, as my dealership led me to believe. Now, Jason & his mechanic *could* have told me, “Yes, you need new brakes and also XYZ 123 right now. Here’s our breakdown of parts & labor plus tax for a full quote, we can get you scheduled in next week.” But they didn’t. They reassured me that they were in good condition for the time being, gave me a general timeline for when I SHOULD anticipate having this repair done, and also warned me of things I should keep eyes/ears out for, should they need attention sooner. These guys are honest and just overall great people. I will be taking my business to Automotive Center of Mandeville from this point on for anything I’m unable to do myself, because it’s exactly this type of business that deserves such recognition and accolades. The biggest, most sincere thank you from a girl just trying to do her best!
I can't say enough good things about Automotive Center of Mandeville. My car has been through it! The first mechanic messed things up, second mechanic was overpriced and rude when I called back about my check engine light. I was honestly exhausted and discouraged, just praying to finally find someone I could trust. That's when I found Jason and Dale at Automotive Center. From the very first interaction, they were so kind, so genuine, and immediately made me feel like I wasn't just another customer. And Brian, their mechanic, is beyond impressive! He really knows his stuff, and it shows. For the first time ever, I actually met the mechanic working on my car, and that level of honesty and connection gave me so much peace of mind. They gave me the best price on diagnosing my car, but even more than that, they gave me respect, trust, and care. My only regret is not finding them sooner. I've finally found my shop, and I'll never go anywhere else.

These guys are fantastic! My fuel pump went out and they got it in and called me much quicker than i expected. They gave me what i feel was an awesome price for the repair, because i had been quoted much higher through a different mechanic and they didnt try to upsell me stuff i didnt need. The mechanic and service writer walked me through what all was needed and why with an easy to understand explanation. 10/10 do recommend!!
