The rise in the category devoted by sports car enthusiasts has led to the rise in the demand for high-performance tires in crossover vehicles, sport utility vehicles, and passenger cars. The sales of high-performance tires are increasing as a result of rising purchases of these preferred vehicles in the country, and the increase in the sales of high-end vehicles in the passenger car segment is also leading to the rise in the demand for high-performance tires in Saudi Arabia.

The benefits of these tires are being made known to consumers through expanding fitments by top automakers, which is fueling a replacement market for them in Saudi Arabia.

Rise in the Demand for Replacement High-Performance Tires

As Saudi Arabia possesses a fleet of high-end vehicles, the rise in racing activities is leading to the rise in the demand for OTR tires. To capitalize on the lucrative aftermarket high-performance and ultra-high-performance tire segments, vendors are investing in marketing to raise their brand awareness. Additionally, they are spending money to improve the selection of high-performance tires that are offered for online purchases and to make their products more noticeable on their websites.

Lack of in-house High-Performance Tire Manufacturing Facilities

There are many key global players having a presence in the Saudi Arabia high-performance tire market, but most of these players have either dealers, distributors, or sales partners and do not have their own manufacturing in Saudi Arabia. This is leading to a slow supply chain process and the high price of high-performance tires. The government is taking measures and is in talks with the tire manufacturers to set up in-house manufacturing in Saudi Arabia itself. However, this may take time, and this aspect can be a challenge in the rising demand for high-performance tires in the country during the forecast years.

Sales of high-performance tires in Saudi Arabia will continue to be driven by the increasing demand for high-performance vehicles for automotive sports and the introduction of new technologies to enhance tire efficiency.

High-performance tires are distinguished primarily by their higher speed ratings, larger diameters, and lower aspect ratios because they were originally designed as fitments for sports cars. However, as their appeal among regular drivers has grown, high-performance tires now have a lot of qualities required to appeal to typical customers. Today, tires for passenger cars are made for high-speed driving and have a smooth ride that matches the car's design. Tire manufacturers are increasingly creating high-performance tires that are hybrid, performance-centric, with extended wear qualities, and year-round drivability to get drivers to pay extra for their performance products.
