Designed for use on coupes, sedans, minivans and crossovers, the GT Radial Maxtour LX is an affordable, performance-oriented all-season tire that really punches way above its weight class. With its asymmetric tread pattern and an independent shoulder groove, the Maxtour LX delivers precise handling, braking traction, and steering response in wet or dry conditions. But is this the right tire for you? Let’s take a look in this GT Radial Maxtour LX review.

Features and Benefits

• Asymmetric tread pattern with segments designed for traction in wet or dry conditions

Pros and Cons

• Precise and nimble handling
• Great braking and cornering performance
• Not the best tire for heavy snow and slush
• Light winter weather performance could be better

SimpleTire’s view on GT Radial Maxtour LX tires

The lower-priced end of the all-season tire spectrum is pretty crowded, and in most cases it’s really a “you get what you pay for” proposition. Not so with the GT Radial Maxtour LX; this is an all-season tire that really beats expectations and delivers phenomenal value and performance. If you’re a budget-minded driver and are looking for a tire that can offer long wear, year-round traction and a quiet, comfortable ride for everyday commuting and the occasional long trip on the interstate, the GT Radial Maxtour LX is a great option.

Vehicles the GT Radial Maxtour LX is a good replacement tire for

These are just a few of the vehicles that the GT Radial Maxtour LX would be a great replacement fit for:

• Toyota Camry
• Nissan Altima
• Chevrolet Impala
• Dodge Caravan
• Buick Regal

With over 42 sizes, it’s a fair bet that there’s a GT Radial Maxtour LX that would be perfect for your ride!

56 SimpleTire reviews

Purchase maxtour tires very smooth like air, love it

• Miles driven on tires 15k - 19k
• Would you buy again? Yes
• Miles driven on tires 10k - 14k

You are not going to confuse these with Summer tires when the driving gets spirited, but they're great cruising tires. Straight ahead grip in the wet or dry is great, but on turns, it can feel a little greasy in the wet. As for noise...there pretty much isn't any. I hear more induction and wind noise than I do the tires, even at speeds above 80mph.

• Miles driven on tires 20k - 29k

This is my 5th set of tires I have bought from simple tire. The ease of ordering and the speed of shipping is excellent. Cheaper than any other tire sites online, even tirerack.com.

• Miles driven on tires 5k - 9k

Good so far. Just have around 1,500 miles on the tires. And liking them so far.

At 30,000 miles the tires were down to 2/32 of an inch. Tires had been rotated on a regularly scheduled basis by the dealership and overall properly maintained. I expected better.

• Would you buy again? No
• Miles driven on tires 30k+

I'm very happy with the tires I purchased! They're very quiet on the road, and I feel very comfortable driving in heavy rain with them. Haven't been in snow yet, but I'm confident they'll do just fine. I highly recommend this tire! You get a lot of quality for the price.

VERY HAPPY WITH TIRES, SO FAR GREAT HANDLING, SMOOTH RIDE. LOW TIRE NOISE.

The GT Radial Maxtour LX is part of the Tires test program at Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, All-season SUV tires models like the Maxtour LX are rated on multiple criteria, such as those listed below.

Dry braking: Dry braking is measure of stopping performance from 60 to 0 mph.

Wet braking: Wet braking is measure of stopping performance from 60 to 0 mph.

Handling: For most tires, Handling includes how well the tires perform; in an avoidance maneuver involving a swerve into the left lane and back into the right lane; on CR's wet handling circuit; and steering feel.

Speed rating

Speed rating. This letter denotes the maximum sustainable speed and is found directly after the load index. For S-speed-rated tires, it's 112 mph; for T, 118 mph. Speed ratings for other tires include Q, 99 mph; H, 130 mph; and V , 149 mph. Some tires have speed ratings of W, 168 mph and Y, 186 mph. While such speeds may seem wildly impractical, tires with higher speed ratings tend to provide better handling at legal speed limits. Choose tires that have a speed rating at least as high as the one specified on your vehicle's placard or consult your vehicles owner's manual.

Treadwear warranty

Commonly used by tire manufacturers to market tires, the warranty describes the typical tread life of the tire. Actual mileage will vary with vehicle type, driving style, road, and weather conditions, just to name a few variables. Typically, credit is based on the mileage not received.

UTQG treadwear

UTQGS, which stands for Uniform Tire Quality Grading System, is a federal government required grading system for passenger tires excluding winter tires. Key information includes Treadwear, Traction, and Temperature appearing on the sidewall of a tire. UTQG treadwear, an index developed by the government, compares a tire's tread life with that of a reference tire graded at 100. A tire with a grade of 300 is predicted to last three times as long as one graded at 100. Treadwear grades are just one indicator of tread life, but actual tire life will vary due to a number of factors including road conditions, driving habits, vehicle, and maintenance.

UTQG traction

UTQGS, which stands for Uniform Tire Quality Grading System, is a federal government required grading system for passenger tires excluding winter tires. Key information includes Treadwear, Traction, and Temperature appearing on the sidewall of a tire. UTQG traction indicates the tire's ability to stop on a wet surface with Government grades of AA, A, B, C, from best to worst.

UTQG temperature

UTQGS, which stands for Uniform Tire Quality Grading System, is a federal government required grading system for passenger tires excluding winter tires. Key information includes Treadwear, Traction, and Temperature appearing on the sidewall of a tire. UTQG temperature indicates the tire's ability to resist heat build-up under test conditions with Government grades of A, B, C, from best to worst.

The GT Radial Maxtour is an exceptionally durable all season tire for minivans, sedans, and crossovers. It has a remarkable 130,000 km limited treadwear warranty to help protect your investment. It is available in rim diameters from 12 to 17 inches and even includes a road hazard warranty for the first 20,000 km.

Features of GT Radial Maxtour All Season Tires

This tire was designed to last and its features reflect that commitment. It has a strengthened casing design that dissipates heat and disperses road forces more effectively to help it last longer. The rubber blend was created specifically to wear away slowly and evenly with less rolling resistance so your tires will last longer and use less fuel. The advanced tread pattern gives you excellent wet and dry traction and helps to reduce road noise by using phased tread block technologies. Four circumferential grooves quickly and effectively move water away from the road surface so you’ll worry less about hydroplaning and have more traction in wet weather.

Choosing GT Radial Maxtour All Season Tires

If you are a high mileage driver that wants to reduce your fuel and tire expenses, the GT Radial Maxtour is as great option for keeping your car on the road.
