GT Radial MaxClimate. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: Enhanced controllability; All weather traction; Comfortable driving experience; . OVERVIEW: The GT Radial MaxClimate is a touring, all weather tire manufactured for passenger vehicles and SUVs. GT Radial offers a 60,000 mile treadwear warranty with this model.The symmetric, directional tread design and the flat footprint maintain surface contact while the tires are in motion. The asymmetric tread design and the special silica compound work together to maintain continuous contact with the driving surface. As a result, the tire is able to effectively upgrade steering responsiveness and driving stability. This allows the tire to enhance steering responses and accuracy, while the structure is secured against driving pressure. The shoulder block pattern provides additional biting edges, upgrading cornering. The angled grooves create friction when braking, significantly shortening its overall braking distance.The tire provides true year-round traction. The tread pattern and the durable compound increase the tires grip in dry, wet, and winter weather. This allows the tire to securely perform throughout the year. The compound maintains rubber flexibility even in hot summer or freezing winter weather conditions. The wide grooves disperse water and slush from below the tires footprint and avoid hydroplaning in wet and winter weather. This ensures great year-round driving safety.The GT Radial MaxClimate provides a quiet and comfortable driving experience. This tread design and its constant contact with the driving surface reduce road and tread noise heard in the vehicles cabin. The footprint channels airwaves throughout the footprint, preventing them from coming into contact with tread elements. This enables the passengers to enjoy a quiet performance by resisting sound wave formations.All weather tires receive the three mountain peak and snowflake (3PMS) symbol for their exceptional winter weather performance. They are all season tires with extra winter weather grip, in order to guarantee safer year-round durability. This ensures their true and secure driving ability throughout the year.Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
