About the Atlas Force UHP

Performance grip you can count on, mile after mile.

Best forBest suited for drivers of sport sedans, coupes, and performance passenger cars who prioritize responsive handling and wet/dry traction in everyday and spirited driving conditions.

The Atlas Force UHP is an ultra-high-performance tire built for drivers who demand sharp handling and confident grip on both wet and dry roads. Designed for passenger vehicles, it pairs responsive steering with strong cornering stability, making it a capable choice for sport sedans, coupes, and performance-oriented cars that see regular spirited driving.

An asymmetrical tread layout divides the contact patch into two functional zones: a center section engineered for wet-weather grip and outer shoulders built for dry-road cornering loads. Reinforced, high-rigidity shoulders and sidewalls sharpen cornering response, while 3D sipes improve braking and steering feel in wet conditions. A dedicated groove network channels water away from the contact patch to reduce hydroplaning risk. The tire carries a 40,000-mile warranty.

Questions about this tire

What does 255/45R20XL 105Y mean?

255 is the tread width in millimeters, 45 means the sidewall is 45% of that width, and R20 is the 20-inch rim it mounts on. 105 is the load index (2,039 lbs per tire), and Y is the speed rating (up to 186 mph).

Is the Atlas Force UHP suitable for winter or snow driving?

No. The Force UHP is a summer-category UHP tire and does not carry a Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake certification. Its compound is optimized for warm-weather performance and can harden significantly in near-freezing temperatures. Drivers in regions with snow or ice should use a dedicated winter tire during cold months.

How does the dual-zone tread design actually work?

The asymmetrical pattern assigns different tread geometries to each side of the tire. The center zone uses features designed to channel water and maintain grip on wet pavement, while the outer zones use a stiffer, more block-like structure to handle the lateral forces generated during cornering on dry roads. This allows one tire to address both conditions without compromising either.

What kind of mileage warranty does the Force UHP carry?

Atlas backs the Force UHP with a 40,000-mile treadwear warranty, which is a meaningful commitment for a UHP tire in this price range. Normal warranty conditions apply, so proper inflation, rotation intervals, and alignment will help you reach that figure.

Will this tire fit my vehicle? The size range seems very wide.

With 120 sizes available from 16-inch to 30-inch rim diameters, the Force UHP covers a broad range of passenger cars, sport sedans, and larger-wheel fitments. Check your door jamb placard or owner's manual for your vehicle's recommended tire size, and confirm the specific size is in stock before ordering.

How does the Force UHP compare to a dedicated track or competition tire?

The Force UHP is designed for street use, balancing performance with everyday drivability and a 40,000-mile warranty. A competition or track-day tire typically sacrifices tread life and wet-weather versatility for maximum dry grip. For most drivers using public roads, the Force UHP offers a more practical and cost-effective performance balance.

Buying from TFS Wheels

Shipping, returns & guarantees

Authorized Dealer — 100% Brand New Wheels & Tires

TFS Wheels is an authorized dealer for every brand we carry. Every wheel and tire we ship is brand new, unused, and packaged in its original manufacturer's box. We never sell refurbished, demo, or return-stock product. All manufacturer warranties apply and our warehouse is staffed by people who only handle wheels and tires — no in-transit damage, no test-fits, no surprises.

Free Shipping (Lower 48)

Free shipping on every order — wheels, tires, and accessories — to the contiguous United States. No minimum order, no hidden fees.

Standard delivery is 4–7 business days; expedited is 1–4 business days. Orders placed before 1:00 PM ET typically ship the same day. We do not ship internationally or to PO boxes.

Fitment Guarantee

If a wheel or tire marked "Direct Fit" or "Aftermarket Fit" for your vehicle arrives and does not fit as expected, we cover both the restocking fee and return shipping. The same applies if the bolt pattern does not match — provided your vehicle information was submitted at checkout.

To qualify for the guarantee, enter your year, make, model, and submodel before placing the order.

Manufacturer's Warranty

Every wheel and tire is covered by the full manufacturer's warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Coverage terms vary by brand — most cover structural integrity for the life of the wheel and finish for 1 to 2 years from purchase. If you ever have a warranty question, contact us first; we work directly with the manufacturer on your behalf so you don't have to.

Accessories Included with Your Order

When you submit your vehicle information at checkout, the right lug nuts and (if needed) hub-centric rings are automatically added to your cart in the correct sizes — no guessing, no separate ordering.

TPMS sensors are also available in the cart. We program each sensor to your vehicle's exact year, make, model, and submodel before shipping, so they arrive ready to sync with your truck or car the moment they're installed. This typically saves customers the dealer or installer's programming fees, which often run several dozen dollars per wheel.

Returns

Returns are accepted within 30 days of purchase on items in new, unused condition. A 25% restocking fee applies to general (change-of-mind) returns, and the buyer covers return shipping.

The restocking fee and return shipping are waived for incorrect items, transit damage, or fitment issues when vehicle information was provided at checkout. Single wheels, single tires, mounted items, special orders, and accessories (lug nuts, locks, hub-centric rings, TPMS sensors, installation kits) are final sale.
