Features and Benefits

Tires that are used on ultra-high-performance and high-performance vehicles are likely to be pushed a lot. This is the reason that Radar has prepared its own UHP silica compound to be used in the Dimax-R8. Being an affordable tire, it still receives a limited manufacturer warranty. The grip on dry surfaces and removal of water from wet surfaces are essential for this tire to do well, both of which take place here. Expect them to be fairly comfortable and quiet while displaying performance in warm weather conditions. During our Radar Dimax R8 tire review, we found the following features and benefits:

• Extra tire life- A special patented UHP silica compound available here extends the tire life.
• Enhanced dry and wet traction- You can expect the silica compound to be responsible for improved dry and wet traction. Wide circumferential grooves expel water quickly for hydroplaning resistance, leading to an average traction SimpleScore of 7.9.
• Less noise- A Variable Pitch Ratio helps reduce noise and vibrations on the road, ensuring comfort for the occupants.
• Solid manufacturer’s warranty- You’ll find the Radar Dimax R8 to be available with a limited manufacturer warranty of 35,000 miles. Further, the warranty is a part of the extensive Radar Protect Program that contains other components too, enabling us to award 7.2 as the average longevity SimpleScore.
• Highly fuel efficient- The tread compound helps give the tires low rolling resistance, leading to high fuel efficiency.
• Great ultra-high performance- An asymmetric tread pattern here showcases a three-tread design to ensure the tires exhibit great ultra-high performance. A high W speed rating further helps us award this tire 8.3 as the average handling SimpleScore.
