Top Radar Dimax R8 Reviews

Given 75% (breakdown) while driving a Volvo V70 2.5 T awd (225/45 R17 W) on a combination of roads for 800 spirited miles
Got these after Michelin Primacy 225/45 17W. Radar is cheap, comfort and quiet. Havent drive much with these so dont know about how long these will last but so far just positive feelings. There was MUCH more tramling when driving Michelins. Sure, Michelins were worn tyres and Y speed but anyway: car was tramling quite baddly with Mich´s but no tramling at all with Radars.

I havent got any problems with grip in any conditions, not even in cold, rainy conditions. In wet road conditions i could keep same speed in hard turns than i drove those curves with Michelin.

Volvo aint a sport car so i dont drive it at the limit but the limit comes via car, not via tyres in this case.

I give "thumbs up" for Radar.

Given 63% (breakdown) while driving a Ford Falcon xr6 (245/30 R20) on a combination of roads for 5,000 spirited miles
Bought these tyres just as a cheap alternative for my XR6 Falcon, the car is only driven maybe once a week as I have a company car. For the price compared to major name brand tyres, I am loving them! They handle well in dry conditions, they're not noisy, as with all cheaper tyres if you put your foot to the floor in the wet they spin (kind of expect that with most tyres!).

Overall they are great value for money if you don't want to spend big $$$$ on name brand tyres.

Given 47% (breakdown) while driving a BMW 330CD (225/45 R17) on mostly town for 3,000 average miles
In dry conditions it's ok. But it wet... If you drive like a granny, it's ok. But if you push accelarator pedal harder, the DSC indicator starts blinking.. If you drive in corner harder, the car stability system starts to working too. Without stability systems on, I fear to drive with these tyres in wet conditions. There's much rain in Lithuania, so it was a not very cheap, but bad choise for me..
