The G-Max RS is an ultra high performance tire that's designed for use in the summer months thanks to its tread that gives drivers excellent grip, rain or shine.
Features & Benefits
- Designed to be used in warmer months
- Black sidewall
- Features SmartGrip Technology to give drivers strong handling and grip on dry and wet roads.
- The G-Max RS is the official tire of the new Saleen 30th Anniversary Edition Mustang.
Warmer months mean that it's time to be outdoors and taking a road trip is typically a staple of summer activities. Whether going to the beach or heading elsewhere, the G-Max RS from General Tire is an ideal tire for driving in warmer weather thanks to its added grip that gives drivers strong handling and stopping power on dry and wet roads. The G-Max RS puts a lot of tire on the road so that no one area wears down more than another, which helps it to last up to 35% longer than leading competitors. A Replacement Tire Monitor is built into the tread and will say "replace tire" when it's time for a driver to purchase a new set of G-Max RS tires.
Summer tires are designed for use in warmer weather or in areas where the temperatures does not drop below 40 degrees. These tires are ideal for ue in warm, dry, and wet conditions that are common in the summertime. | |
Passenger tires are some of the most common tires you'll find on the roads today, and frequently used on coupes, sedans, hatchbacks, minivans, and other passenger vehicles. Passenger tires are available in a wide variety of types, such as all-season, winter, and ultra-high-performance. | |
This product is not covered by a manufacturer’s treadlife warranty. | |
Maximum speed capability to safely carry a load for an extended period of time. | |
The maximum load carrying strength at the specified inflation pressure, also known as ply rating | |
The maximum carrying capacity for a tire determined by the manufacturer | |
Standards that measure treadwear, temperature resistance and traction, example: "640 A A". The 640 is the treadwear test and it lasted 6.4 times longer than the comparison tire tested against. The first "A" is the traction rating using straight-line wet traction on test surfaces (see information tables tab) and the second "A" is the temperature rating by testing operation at high speeds without heat-related failure (see information tables tab) | |
The side of the tire between the tread and rim, with cosmetic branding as well as information about the tire including manufacturer, model, size, etc. | |
An identifier of a particular tire line and size combination assigned by the tire manufacturer. | |
The highest inflation pressure (measured in pounds of force per square inch, PSI) the tire is designed to contain, and should only be used when called for by the vehicle placard | |
Measured in 32nds of an inch, this metric shows how much tread life is left on a tire, with the tire's traction & stopping capabilities greatly diminished at 4/32nds and less. Tire manufacturers include "tire wear bars" at 2/32nds to indicate when your tire is worn out | |
The range of widths the rim of the vehicle can be for this tire to be safely mounted on | |
The measurement of width from a tires inner sidewall to the outer sidewall | |
The diameter of a tire that is inflated without any load applied |
