General G-MAX RS 245/40R18, Summer, High Performance tires.

Features and Benefits: Summer weather traction; Enhanced controllability; Longer lasting usability; Replacement tire monitor; General G-MAX RS TiresThe General G-MAX RS is a high performance, summer tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs. The tire increases the summer weather performance ability. The SmartGrip technology allows the tire to utilize its summer compound and tread design in order to boost the dry and wet weather driving safety levels. The compound elements keep the rubber flexibility and avoid heat build-up along the footprint. On the other hand, the tread's better surface contact enhances the optimal grip during the tire's performance. The special directional tread pattern disperses water from the footprint, effectively avoiding hydroplaning in the process. This promotes a secure summer weather driving experience. The tread design's wider footprint with optimal stability enhances the road surface contact during the performance. The SmartGrip technology upgrades the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. In other words, the tire is quicker and more precise in its response to the driver's commands, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure. This optimizes the tire's cornering capability as well. The shoulder tread block pattern firmly grips the road surface with extra biting edges, boosting the overall maneuvering ability. The special tread design improves the length of the tread life. The StabiliTread design allows the tire to evenly distribute the driving pressure along the footprint. These elements prevent premature and irregular wear formations with equally circulated forces of acceleration, cornering, and braking pressure. This combination allows the tire to greatly elongate the service life and usability. The General G-MAX RS boosts the Replacement Tire Monitor design. The center rib allows the tire to slow the tread wear rate along the footprint. The tire's center rib features the words "replacement tire monitor". These words wear out with the tread, and when the tire is about to wear out the words change to "replace tire". This enables the driver to follow the tread wear along the footprint, ensuring the tire's exceptional driving safety levels. 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.
