3.2 Driving Conditions

• Summer Performance: This tire is optimized for warm weather conditions. Its performance may be significantly reduced in cold temperatures, snow, or ice.
• Wet Handling: The directional tread design efficiently channels water, contributing to improved wet handling and braking.

Regular maintenance is crucial for maximizing tire life and ensuring safe driving.

4.1 Шина басымы

• Check tire pressure monthly, or before long trips, using a reliable pressure gauge.
• Maintain the pressure recommended by your vehicle manufacturer. Under-inflation or over-inflation can lead to uneven wear, reduced fuel efficiency, and compromised handling.

4.2 Дөңгөлөктүн айланышы

Rotate tires regularly, typically every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, or as recommended by your vehicle manufacturer. This helps promote even tread wear across all four tires.

4.3 Tread Wear Monitoring (Smart Monitor Technology)

The GMAX RS features Smart Monitor Technology, an indicator visible on the tire's center rib. Initially, it reads "REPLACEMENT TIRE MONITOR". As the tire wears, these letters will gradually disappear. When the tire wears to 2/32 of an inch (1.6 mm) tread depth, the indicator will clearly read "REPLACE TIRE", signaling that a tire change is necessary for safety and performance.
