GT Radial Maxtour All Season. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: All weather traction; Enhanced controllability; Longer lasting tread life; Reduced road noise levels; . OVERVIEW: The GT Radial Maxtour All Season is a touring, all season tire manufactured for passenger vehicles and SUVs. GT Radial offers a 60,000 mile treadwear warranty with this tire model.The tire promotes excellent all weather traction. The special new compound formula maintains its flexibility even in colder temperatures, while the tread design features a full and variable depth siping detail that firmly grips the road surface in dry, wet and winter weather road conditions. The wide circumferential and lateral grooves actively resist hydroplaning when driving through deeper water by dispersing water and slush from below the tire's footprint. The combination of the enhanced traction and hydroplaning resistance ensures a safer year round performance.The tread pattern increases the model's controllability. The center rib keeps the tire close to the road surface and the shoulder tread blocks increase the tire's road gripping ability with a higher number of biting edges. The center rib manages to improve the steering responsiveness and driving stability. It secures the tire against the driving pressure affecting it during the drive, and ensures a faster and more precise steering responsiveness to the driver's commands. The large shoulder tread blocks enhance the cornering and maneuvering ability and promote a stable performing capability in all weather.The tread design's siping detail improves the winter weather traction and ensures a longer lasting tread life. The sipes find firm grip on the snow and ice-covered road surfaces and provide a safe driving experience. Their full and variable depth design also manages to distribute the driving pressure affecting the model evenly across the entire tread area. The result is an extended tread life and tire usability as the equally spread out forces of acceleration, cornering and braking actively prevent irregular wear formations along the tire's surface. The longer lasting tread life makes the tire more cost efficient.The Maxtour All Season offers a quiet drive. The tread design features a variable pitch pattern that negates the road noise heard in the vehicle's cabin. The variable pitch design generates a sound frequency that cancels the road noise created while the tires are in motion. In this manner, the road noise cannot reach the vehicle's cabin, which guarantees a quiet and comfortable driving experience. 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.
