Gripmax: large diameters at a budget price
A budget brand for large wheels
Gripmax differs from most budget brands in what it focuses on. While many other cheap brands cover the small sizes, the Gripmax range starts at R15 and reaches R23, and the widest choice is in the large diameters. It is a brand for owners of newer SUVs and saloons who do not want to pay a premium price for a set of R19 or R20.
The SureGrip family from R15 to R23
The range rests on the SureGrip family: Pro Winter for winter, Pro Sport for summer, A/S for all-season use. Inception A/T is an all-terrain tyre, while Stature H/T is an SUV tyre for the road.
| Model | Season | Studs | Diameters | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SureGrip Pro Winter | winter | studless | R16-R23 | Winter UHP |
| SureGrip Pro Sport | summer | - | R18-R22 | UHP summer |
| SureGrip A/S | all-season | - | R17-R22 | All-season |
| Inception A/T | summer/all-season | - | R15-R20 | All-Terrain |
| Suregrip Pro Icex | winter | studless | R19-R22 | Winter, for large diameters |
| Stature H/T | summer | - | R17-R23 | SUV summer |
| SureGrip Pro Ice | winter | studded | R19-R23 |
One winter model in our range is studded - SureGrip Pro Ice. The other Gripmax winter models are studless and built for asphalt rather than ice.
Who Gripmax suits best
Gripmax suits those who need a large diameter at a sensible price - it is in the large diameters that premium tyres are most expensive. It also suits a second set of tyres, or a car with low mileage.
If you need a diameter below R15 or the maximum safety margin on a wet surface at high speed, it is worth looking at a higher price group. The comparison is in the article Budget or premium tyres.
