The Dimax AS-8 is Radar's Grand Touring All-Season tire developed for the drivers of a wide variety of vehicles, including performance sedans, sporty coupes, minivans, crossovers, and sport utility vehicles (SUVs) looking to combine fuel efficiency, ride comfort and all-season traction. Radar Dimax AS-8 tires are designed to provide long wear and traction in a wide range of driving conditions including occasional light snow.

Dimax AS-8 tires utilize a silica-enriched all-season compound molded into an asymmetric tread design featuring an even footprint for long-wear, and rounder shoulders to provide progressive, predictable cornering. Circumferential grooves and independent tread blocks enhance hydroplaning resistance and wet traction while a continuous center rib promotes highway stability and a quiet, comfortable ride. A wide distribution of lateral sipes across the tread help to ensure grip is available in wet, slushy, and wintry conditions.

Internal construction of the Dimax AS-8 consists of a 2-ply polyester casing engineered to provide durability along with a comfortable, controlled ride. Twin steel belts and a nylon reinforcement ply help support the tread while improving handling and high-speed stability.

Ride comfort earns consistent praise for smoothness, though a few mention moderate road noise.

...Michelins are decent in wet weather, but can't beat the double center groove on the Hankooks. When you combine the performance, wet or dry, and the miles these provide, it's a no brainer.

I just ordered another set to replace the current ones. By far the best tire I've had on multiple performance vehicles. Pirelli, Falken, and Goodyear just don't last. Michelins are decent in wet weather, but can't beat the double center groove on the Hankooks. When you combine the performance, wet or dry, and the miles these provide, it's a no brainer.

...Superior grip is great on theese tires and if that?s what you care about, get them, however the tires do not even come close to the performance needed to buy again...

Great for front tires but no good for back tires, when I accelerated hard, if they’re on the back, the sidewalls bend giving you a sideways start, and if you go around a corner, let’s say getting off the highway, really hard, the tire sidewall will roll leaving you in a predicament where the car’s handling becomes dangerous. Superior grip is great on theese tires and if that’s what you care about, get them, however the tires do not even come close to the performance needed to buy again. I’ll be going back to Michelin pilot sports 4S summer or all season, as those tires allow for maximum spirited driving and no awkward bending or rolling at max acceleration or g-force turns.

With a treadwear of 320, these things are hard as rocks. I do like them for the highway/city driving that I do, since they show little wear at 6000 miles. I think they might last forever, if you want longer mileage...

With a treadwear of 320, these things are hard as rocks. I do like them for the highway/city driving that I do, since they show little wear at 6000 miles. I think they might last forever, if you want longer mileage. I've used them a few times in autocross, and they don't hold on as well as the Michelin Sport Cup guys, but the price is great for what they are. I consider them a good performance tire at a great price, and will likely put another set on my Porsche Carrera S, if these ever wear out.
