Zákaznícke recenzie do PTI nevstupujú – PTI stojí na meraniach nezávislých testov; pri pneumatikách s málo testami čiastočne prihliada aj na triedu značky.

Specifications

Technical information

Our classification not an official manufacturer classification

Focus: Standard

The largest and best-selling category, and Radar DIMAX WINTER 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.

★★★★☆

Replaced 4y old goodyear ultragrip performace with these. Car is RWD BMW 325D.
First impession is really good. Tyres are extra extra quiet in all conditions ( dry, wet, snow). Noticed slight increase in fuel consumption.
last weekend was extra snowy, roads covered with snow, on my trip with alot steep hilclims on the road. I passed few stuck and strugglig cars and came to my destination with pleasent surprise...
