Touring All SeasonBest Value🏆 Notable for treadlife warranty among budget touring tires, but trails in wet grip performance.
GT Radial Maxtour LX
The Bottom Line
The Maxtour LX is best suited for drivers seeking a long-lasting and comfortable tire for dry conditions, with a 70,000-mile warranty backing its treadlife. However, its wet grip performance is a notable weakness, making it less ideal for areas with frequent rain.
Important Note
Wet grip performance is below expectations for a touring tire, which could be a concern in rainy climates.
Pros
- High treadwear rating of 700 and a 70,000-mile warranty, indicating strong longevity for a touring tire.
- Comfort and noise scores of 8 make it a pleasant choice for daily driving and long trips.
- Dry grip and handling both score 8.5, providing reliable performance in typical driving conditions.
Cons
- Wet grip score of 5.5 suggests caution in rainy conditions compared to competitors like the Nexen N Priz AH5.
- Lacks the 3PMSF rating, limiting its effectiveness in light snow compared to some all-season rivals.
- The UTQG treadwear rating of 700 is significantly lower than the category average of 1658, which may be misleading about its relative durability.
