πŸ’‘ Is the Radar Dimax AS-8 225/55R16 a Good Tire?

The Radar Dimax AS-8 225/55R16 is an all-season grand touring tire designed for mid-size sedans and compact crossovers. It offers balanced dry performance and adequate wet traction thanks to its directional tread pattern with circumferential grooves for water evacuation. Ride comfort is above average with controlled road noise, while tread life appears competitive for the budget tire segment. Rated Excellent by TireRack based on 40 consumer surveys, it provides solid year-round performance but lacks the refined handling and premium construction of category leaders. Currently priced from $103.94, it is available through major online tire retailers.

About This Tire

The Radar Dimax AS-8 225/55R16 is an all-season grand touring 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 performance and long wear across varied weather conditions.

The tire features circumferential grooves and independent tread blocks for hydroplaning resistance, while a continuous center rib promotes highway stability and quiet operation. Lateral sipes distributed across the tread provide grip in wet and light snow conditions, with rounder shoulders designed for predictable cornering response. Driver feedback points to strong wet and dry handling capabilities, with notable comfort and durability in regular use.

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