225/40R18 General G-Max AS-05 – Performance
Category: All Season – Ultra High Performance
The General G-Max AS-05 is a bold all-season tire with ultra-grip and traction. It provides performance capabilities year-round thanks to silica based rubber compounds and sipes that ensure grip in wet and light snow conditions. The G-Max AS-05 has a strong center rib for clean steering response, stable shoulder blocks, and a large flat footprint with wear and alignment indicators for improved tread life. It also has a 80,000km tread life warranty for all sizes.
XL (Extra Load) rating supports higher inflation pressure and carrying capacity than standard load tires.
What these tire specs mean
- Load Index 92 is the tire’s standardized carrying capacity, supporting up to 630 kg per tire. Use it to confirm the tire meets or exceeds the load rating listed on your vehicle placard.
- Speed Rating W indicates the tire’s maximum sustained speed capability under proper load and inflation. This is approximately 270 km/h under proper load and inflation.
- UTQG 500 AA A is the manufacturer treadwear, traction, and temperature grading system. It is useful for comparing tires from the same brand, but it should not be treated as an exact mileage promise.
- All Season tires are made for mild year round driving, but they generally do not meet Quebec winter tire requirements unless they also carry 3PMS.
- XL means Extra Load. These tires are designed to carry higher loads at higher inflation pressures than a standard load tire in the same size, which matters for heavier vehicles, loaded vehicles, or factory fitments that require XL.
- Vehicle Type helps identify whether the tire is intended for passenger, light truck, commercial, or similar service categories.
- Warranty coverage is manufacturer backed and depends on normal use, proper maintenance, rotation, inflation, and alignment conditions.
