Crossmax Tires is a private brand of Horizon Tire, which also manufactures SuperMaxx, Antares, Grenlander, Rydanz, and Sotera tires. Crossmax now manufactures a line of passenger and light vehicle tires that are meant to provide quality performance at an economical price.
The Crossmax CT-1 is an all-season tire with current, innovative tread patterns that give nimble handling in both wet and dry situations while maintaining fuel efficiency, quietness, and comfort. Advanced production technology and a novel silica compound improve its reliability, stability, and handling performance. Additionally, it carries a 60,000 mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty.
However, are these tires a good fit for your vehicle and budget? Let’s take a look at a review of the Crossmax CT-1 to get a better understanding.
Features and Benefits
All-season tires combine the greatest features of winter and summer tires into one tire that works incredibly well in both types of weather conditions. The Crossmax CT-1’s unique tread design offers strong grip and resistance to hydroplaning. Let’s see its features and benefits:
-
Enhanced all-season traction: All-season tread pattern offers traction in dry, wet, and light winter weather conditions. Lateral grooves serve to increase grip while the tire flexes and sipping along the tread enhances traction on wet, icy, or snowy roads.
-
Solid wet performance: Four circumferential grooves remove water from the footprint to effectively resist hydroplaning, boosting wet traction.
-
Great limited manufacturer mileage warranty: Laced with solid rubber compounds, the Crossmax CT-1 comes with a 60,000 mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty.
-
Enhanced handling: An asymmetrical tread pattern enhances handling and stability on paved roads.
