The G-MAX AS-05 is an Ultra High Performance All-Season tire created by General for drivers of sports cars, performance sedans, and sporty coupes who want a tire that combines excellent handling in both dry and wet conditions with reliable traction in all seasons, including light snow. This tire utilizes a unique all-season compound that is formed into an aggressive, asymmetric tread pattern. Its SmartGrip Technology enables it to offer sporty handling while still maintaining all-season traction. The tread design includes large, stable tread blocks on both the inner and outer shoulders, which provide exceptional grip for confident high-speed handling. Additionally, the strong center rib ensures a solid on-center feel and responsive steering. Wet traction is a priority for this tire, and it achieves this through its high silica content in the tread compound. The tire is also equipped with four wide, circumferential grooves, which help to increase resistance against hydroplaning. To complete the all-season performance, the G-MAX AS-05 features specifically designed block edges and strategically placed tread sipes, both of which contribute to improved grip in wintry weather conditions. In terms of construction, this tire incorporates a two-ply sidewall for enhanced handling responsiveness and durability. The casing is reinforced with two wide, high-strength steel belts, and there is an additional one- or two-ply polyamide reinforcement, which provides extra strength for high-speed capabilities.
