    The author establishes an asymptotic relation for the large-deviation probabilities of the maxima of sums of subexponential random variables centered by multiples of order statistics of independent standard uniform random variables. This extends a corresponding result of Korshunov. As an application, a result of Tang is generalized, the uniform asymptotic estimate for the finite-time ruin probability, applicable to the whole strongly subexponential class.
