General Tire - G-MAX AS-05 - 245/45R17 XL 99W BSW

The G-MAX AS-05 is General Tire's Ultra High-Performance All-Season tire designed for drivers of performance sedans, sports cars and coupes looking for a tire that successfully combines dry and wet handling performance with reliable traction all seasons, including light snow.

• A tire that offers comfort, stability and sportiness without sacrificing durability
• An asymmetrical tread pattern that provides better performance while reducing road noise
• Wet traction is provided by the high silica content of the tread

Using an all-season compound in an aggressive, asymmetric tread pattern, the G-MAX AS-05 features "SmartGrip" technology that combines sporty handling with all-season traction.

The wide tread blocks on the outer and inner shoulders provide high levels of grip for confident high-speed driving, and the solid center rib provides a stable center feel and responsive steering.

One of the great qualities of the G-MAX AS-05 is its wet grip, which is provided by the high silica content in the tread and the four wide circular grooves that offer increased resistance to hydroplaning.

Specially designed blocks and strategic siping placement complete the equation to provide an all-season tire with the grip you need for winter driving.

Finally, the G-MAX AS-05 features a two-ply sidewall construction for improved handling and durability. The carcass supports two wide, high-strength steel belts and a two-ply polyamide reinforcement that provides additional high-speed capabilities.
