The G-MAX RS is an Ultra High Performance Summer tire created by General for drivers of high-performance sedans, muscle cars, sports cars, and sporty coupes. It offers excellent performance in warm and wet conditions. It is important to note that this tire should not be used in freezing temperatures, snow, or on icy surfaces. The tire features a purposeful, directional tread pattern with a high-performance summer compound. The solid center rib provides a confident on-center feel and aids in acceleration and braking. General's SmartGrip Technology ensures responsive steering and sporty handling. The StabiliTread Technology creates a wide contact patch for improved cornering traction and tire longevity. The tire also has wide notches in the intermediate ribs to channel water and resist hydroplaning. The internal construction of the G-MAX RS includes a single-ply polyester casing and a two-ply sidewall for better steering response. It also has two high-strength steel belts with a two-ply polyamide reinforcement for enhanced handling and high-speed capability. The tire is equipped with General's SmartMonitor Technology, which includes a "Replacement Tire Monitor" on the center rib. As the tire wears down to 2/32" remaining tread depth, the monitor changes to "Replace Tire" to alert the driver. It is important to note that if the G-MAX RS tire is exposed to temperatures below 20 degrees F (-7 degrees C), it should gradually return to temperatures above 40 degrees F (5 degrees C) for at least 24 hours before any adjustments or usage. Cold-weather use can cause irreversible compound cracking, and tires exhibiting such cracking need to be replaced.
