Specifications

Technical information

Our classification not an official manufacturer classification

Focus: Sport

With sport tyres, grip in every situation is what decides — under hard acceleration, under braking, in the dry and in the wet. Gripmax SureGrip Pro Sport belongs to this group. Stability at higher speeds and precision through corners come on top of that. One thing drivers often underestimate when buying: grip comes from a softer compound, and a softer compound wears faster. Where a standard tyre covers roughly 40,000 km, a sport tyre manages about 20,000 to 30,000 km — and considerably less with a sharper driving style or a heavier, more powerful car.

<p>so far so good. A bit noisy, tread wear still lasting after 10k miles/ 15 months. Ride is supple, handling is ok during spirited drive.</p>

★★★★☆

This Gripmax SureGrip Pro Sport from Thailand has very similar pattern with branded M. While offering good aquaplaning reserves in wet conditions and functioning as a slightly tyre. It produced good grip on wet surfaces, with very good performance on dry braking and cornering. Wear is quite high as a performance tyre, but reasonable. Keep pushing the limit of this tyre to my car but yet figure it out on where the limit is. Good value with the performance, very satisfied and will purchase again, maybe 235/40/18 for better grip
