Why do all low profile tires have to be of high performance design?

Name any that aren't H, V, W, or Z rated.

i understand what you looking for in a tire, but you misunderstood me, i was just voicing my opinion that i dont think a tire that lasts over 20,000 miles is much of a performance tire at all. its just hard to find that tire that has the best of all worlds, like quiteness,dry weather, wet weather, handling, and longevity i just give up a lot just to have good cornering grip

you could just get a touring style tire and have it streched for the low profile look and still retain some quiteness and longevity. there are still some cons to this method but if you dont drive to aggressive it should work good. it is done in the euro scene alot

good luck
