About This Tire

The Radar Dimax AS-9 215/50R17 is a grand touring all-season tire designed for sport coupe, sedan, crossover, and SUV drivers who prioritize year-round versatility and balanced performance in everyday driving.

The tire features a symmetric tread pattern with robust shoulders for lateral grip, a rigid center rib for handling precision, and four circumferential channels that enhance water evacuation and hydroplaning resistance.
