GT Radial Maxtour LX 245/60R18, All Season, Touring tires.

Features and Benefits: All season traction; Upgraded controllability; Comfortable performance; GT Radial Maxtour LX TiresThe GT Radial Maxtour LX is a touring, all season tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs. GT Radial offers a 70,000 mile treadwear warranty with this model. The tire boosts the all weather traction. The all season compound and asymmetric tread design, with the full-depth sipes, enhance the dry, wet, and winter weather surface grip. The tread elements firmly grip the road surface with extra biting edges, while the compound keeps the rubber flexibility in versatile temperatures. The circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning. They disperse water and slush from the footprint, further improving the wet weather traction. The tread design enhances the surface contact while the tires are in motion. The tread design's center ribs maintain the road contact enhancing the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. As a result, the tire promotes a quick and precise steering response, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure. The shoulder block pattern upgrades the cornering ability with the use of extra biting edges. The siping and lateral groove pattern generate friction in order to shorten the braking distance during the performance. The GT Radial Maxtour LX increases the comfort levels as well. The harmonized pitch sequence along the tread area helps to lower the road noise generated. This pitch pattern cancels the sound waves generated during the performance with a special sound frequency. In this manner, sound waves cannot reach the vehicle's cabin and ruin the passengers' driving enjoyment. The model results in a quiet driving experience as a result. 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.
