Radar Dimax AS-8 Review

High performance all season tires combine the best of both worlds: all season traction and year round controllability with the vehicle’s greatest high speed performing capability. These models ensure first-rate all weather traction with their tread design and all weather compound, while they also offer excellent controllability during the tire’s high speed performance.

Radar’s Dimax AS-8 is one such model. Here at Priority Tire, we offer a wide range of sizes of this exceptional model, for passenger vehicles and SUVs. Not only does this tire ensures great high speed controllability and all weather traction, its compound, and tread design also manage to extend its tread life and usability.

All Weather Performance

All season models promote excellent all weather traction throughout the year. The tread design and the all season compound improve the tire’s grip in dry, wet and winter weather and they keep the tire pliable in various temperatures. The maintained traction and flexibility guarantee a safer year round performing capability.

The Dimax AS-8 was designed with a detailed asymmetric tread pattern and it was molded from a high-grip all season compound to guarantee a secure drive throughout the year. The compound maintains the tire’s rubber flexibility, even under the high speed driving pressure, during the tire’s performance in various conditions. The compound prevents heat build-up in warmer temperatures and during the high speed performance, while it also keeps the flexible traction in cold winter weather. With the high-density siping detail, the tread elements increase the grip on the road surface in different weather situations. These sipes enhance the number of biting edges, improving the model’s grip on the road surface. The stronger grip and all weather traction upgrade the year round driving safety.

The asymmetric tread design features four wide circumferential grooves that help prevent hydroplaning. The vehicle can hydroplane when the water and slush stuck on the road surface cut off the tire’s contact with the road. In these cases, the vehicle becomes uncontrollable, which can lead to accidents. The Dimax AS-8 manages to channel this water, slush away from the tire’s footprint, and maintain the tire’s contact with the road surface throughout the year. The better road contact and traction in wet and winter weather ensures the tire’s secure high speed driving experience.

Longer-Lasting Tread Life

A longer lasting tread life is one of the most popular features a tire can have. Different technologies are used to ensure the tire’s tread life length by slowing the tread wear rate down or guaranteeing even wear throughout the tire’s lifetime.

The Dimax AS-8 combines its tread design and compound to extend the tire’s usability. The model was molded from a wear-resistant tire compound, which reduces the tread wear rate. The slower tread wear guarantees the tire’s extended usability. The asymmetric tread’s ribbed pattern and optimal road contact enable the tire to evenly distribute the driving pressure along the tread area. The equally spread out driving forces actively resist irregular tread wear formations on the tire’s surface, which enhances the length of the tread life.

The slower and even tread wear rate lengthens the tire’s usability and service life, making the tire more cost efficient in the long run.

Handling and Controllability

Tires, especially high performance ones, must have first-rate controllability to ensure the tire’s high speed driving safety. Their steering responsiveness and driving stability must be upgraded to guarantee a secure year-round drive and performance in various conditions.

The Dimax AS-8 features an asymmetric ribbed tread pattern that closely follows the road surface at all times. Better road contact significantly increases the driver’s control over the vehicle. The ribbed pattern’s road contact improves the steering responsiveness and the driving stability significantly. In other words, better contact with the road surface boosts the steering response time and accuracy to the driver’s steering instructions, while the structure is secured and stabilized against the high speed driving pressure affecting the model.

As a result, the tire can also perform at its greatest high speed capability. The maintained road contact guarantees its controllability in various conditions, while the stronger structure keeps the optimal tire shape under the driving and load pressure affecting the tire. The better controllability and durability promote a safer performing capability at high speeds.
