Specifications

Technical information

Our classification not an official manufacturer classification

Focus: Standard

The largest and best-selling category, and Radar DIMAX R8+ belongs to it. No single property is pushed here at the expense of the others — comfort, grip, noise and tread life keep a sensible balance. For most drivers it is the safest bet: the tyre behaves predictably in the dry and in the wet and covers a decent number of kilometres.

★★★★☆

I have used these tyres for years now, good price, reliability, good traction in both wet and dry and on long trips, Thousand kilometres plus.

★☆☆☆☆

These came on a BMW 140i I purchased from a dealer. They are not performance tyres, were absolutely lethal and made the car feel unsafe at anything above 100KPH. You felt like the car was a boat wallowing from side to side. They made me feel sick. Changing lanes was a frightening experience and they ruined the cars handling. They also caused the traction control light to flash and cut in on the lightest of bends. For anything with the remotest power buy proper tyres. These are not good.

★★☆☆☆

These tyres fit performance cars but they are definitely NOT performance tyres. They may be ok for driving around town at 50kph but feel very unstable on a motorway, even in a straight line (feels more like driving a boat). Since fitting them the Dynamic Stability Control activates regularly (never did that with the Bridgestones) and the car feels very ‘floaty’ in corners - even at average speeds. Will be cutting my losses and going back to the Bridgestones sooner rather than later.

★★★☆☆

I haven’t had these tyres for very long only have them on the rear, but I find them very unstable and a little scary when changing lanes under acceleration and speed on a motorway or dual lane driving.The car seems very lose at the rear.As for everything else about the tyres seem ok so far.But I think I’ll have to replace them due to not feeling confident with the rear handling of the vehicle.

★★★★☆

When I bought my 2018 Civic Type R, these were already installed as low profiles. I drove these tires through winter- WINTER. and they worked perfectly fine, even if they were low profiles. But I was grandma driving on winter. Now when I have the chance to make pulls, these tyres never let me down on the mountain curvy roads. 100% I am buying these tyres again, only thicker when I downsize my rims.
