πŸ’‘ Is the Radar Dimax All Weather 205/45R17 a Good Tire?

The Radar Dimax All Weather 205/45R17 is an all-season tire designed for compact sedans and sport coupes. It offers balanced dry performance and adequate wet traction thanks to its directional tread pattern with circumferential grooves for water evacuation. Ride comfort is moderate with acceptable road noise levels, while tread life is competitive for the all-weather category. Rated Excellent by TireRack based on 139 consumer surveys, it provides year-round convenience but lacks the specialized performance of dedicated winter tires in severe snow conditions. Currently priced from $98.24, it is available through major online tire retailers.
