About This Tire

The Radar Dimax AS-8 245/65R17 is a grand touring all-season tire, designed for drivers of performance sedans, sporty coupes, minivans, crossovers, and SUVs who prioritize fuel efficiency and ride comfort in everyday driving. Its asymmetric tread design and silica-enriched compound focus on delivering balanced traction across seasons while maintaining long wear and highway stability.

The tire features an asymmetric tread pattern with circumferential grooves and independent tread blocks that enhance hydroplaning resistance, while a continuous center rib promotes stability and reduces road noise. Rounder shoulders provide progressive cornering response, and lateral sipes distributed across the tread help maintain grip in wet, slushy, and light snow conditions. Driver feedback points to strong wet and dry performance, with comfort and durability being notable strengths in daily use.

Compared to performance-oriented tires, it emphasizes comfort, stability, and long-term usability. Overall, it's a solid choice for crossovers and SUVs used primarily for daily commuting and family transportation in varied weather conditions.
