General Tire produces a complete lineup of rubber products, even UHP tires. This type of tire is designed especially for today's sports cars and muscle cars. These show ultra high performance at high speeds and handle the torque and power generated by the engine.
Above all, General G-Max RS is a new generation of UHP summer tires. The silica tread compound is molded into a 10/32" deep directional tread design. This model incorporates multiple technologies like SmartGrip, StabiliTread, and SmartMonitor. The first one represents a perfect combination of strong center rib and stable shoulder blocks. As a result, these provide maximum grip and steering precision. Besides these benefits, silica summer compound and directional tread grooves ensure a wet grip for faster handling in dry and wet conditions. StabiliTread Technology means a larger footprint and optimized pattern that adds stiffness for minimal irregular wear, but also up to 35% longer lifespan than leading competitors. It has an innovative V-groove design engineered to ensure superior water drainage. Four straight grooves boost water evacuation for more contact areas with the street/track.
Moreover, General G-Max RS is present on the US market in a large range of sizes, starting from 16 to 20-inch rim diameters. It is the best tire option for track enthusiasts that drive Mercedes C-class AMG, Audi RS4, Subaru Impreza WRX, and other sports vehicles.
Note: Competitors are Firestone Firehawk Indy 500, BF Goodrich g-Force Sport Comp2, and Hankook Ventus V12 Evo2 all in the size 245/40ZR18.
