About This Tire

The Radar Dimax AS-8 235/45R17 is a grand touring all-season tire, designed for drivers of performance sedans, sporty coupes, crossovers, and SUVs who prioritize fuel efficiency and ride comfort in everyday driving. Its asymmetric tread design and silica-enriched compound focus on balanced traction, long wear, and highway stability across varied weather conditions.

The tire features an asymmetric tread pattern with an even footprint for extended treadlife and rounder shoulders that provide progressive cornering response. Circumferential grooves and independent tread blocks work together to resist hydroplaning, while a continuous center rib promotes highway stability and reduces road noise. Lateral sipes distributed across the tread enhance grip in wet and light snow conditions. Driver feedback points to strong wet and dry performance with comfortable ride quality and reliable treadwear characteristics.

Compared to performance-oriented tires, it emphasizes comfort, stability, and long-term usability. Overall, it's a solid choice for sedans, crossovers, and SUVs used primarily for daily driving and highway travel in mixed weather conditions.
