The G-MAX AS-03
is General Tire's Ultra High Performance All-Season tire
developed for drivers of sports cars, sporty coupes and high
performance sedans looking for tires that suit their
year-round driving needs. The G-MAX AS-03 is designed to
combine ultra high performance handling with all-season
traction in dry, wet and wintry conditions, even in light
snow.
The G-MAX AS-03 molds its all-season tread compound into a
directional tread design featuring stable shoulders,
independent intermediate blocks and a continuous center rib
to combine dry road handling with hydroplaning resistance
and wintertime traction in light snow. A high void-to-tread
ratio and V-shaped sweeping lateral and longitudinal grooves
curve from the center of the tread design to its shoulders
to help evacuate water and promote hydroplaning resistance
and wet traction. These design features also create pockets
throughout the pattern that expose the edges of adjacent
lugs to promote light snow traction. Three-dimensional sipes
increase the number of snow-biting edges to aid wintertime
traction, as well as lock together to enhance dry and wet
handling.
The tire's internal structure includes twin steel belts
reinforced by spirally wound, jointless polyamide on top of
polyester body plies to combine cornering stability with
high-speed durability. Additionally, General's Reactive
Contour Technology allows the tire to react to differing
road conditions and maintain contact with the road for
increased driving confidence and treadwear. |
