GT Radial is a Singapore-based tire manufacturer that is quite well known around the world, but lacks notoriety in the American market. They produce high-quality tires for all types of vehicles at a price that can't be beat by many other tire manufacturers. Although their prices are low, their build quality is very impressive, winning them a supplier of the year award in 2005 and 2006 by General Motors. GT Radials patented tread pattern and unique design deliver superior cornering grip and reliable breaking. So if you are looking for a tire that provides innovation and performance at a low cost, look no further than GT Radial tires.
GT Radial offers tires in these categories: all-season, performance all season, touring all season, summer, performance summer, on/off-road, all terrain, all terrain/all season, and winter. No matter the type of vehicle you’re driving or the season, GT Radial has got you covered.
One way to assess a tire’s quality is to compare the average treadwear against industry average across all brands. The US Department of Transportation provides guidelines for rating treadwear called uniform tire quality grade (UTQG), which is stamped on the side of the tire. It loosely refers to the life expectancy of tires. For reference, a tire with an average treadwear of 680 is expected to last twice as long as a tire with an average treadwear of 340 under normal driving conditions. That said, tire quality depends on a number of factors, including UTQG treadwear, warranty, road noise and handling.
