The Mirage MR-HP172 is an all-season ultra high-performance tire designed to offer good mileage and excellent wet and dry grip at a value price. The MR-HP172 offers impressive performance for sports car drivers who love to drive. The circumferential grooves offer excellent on-center feel for predictable handling, and water evacuation from under tread during rain storms. The tread rubber is formulated to provide some grip on icy roads, but a dedicated winter tire is recommended in most parts of Canada where there is frequent snow.
