This a a road car, had Bridgestone potenza sport, a very good tyre except it's noisy and generates changing tones even on smooth roads. When temps are low 8 - 12 centigrade experienced wheelspin when going into boost in second gear. Fitted Dimax Sport, all the above disappeared. The ride is more comfortable especially on rough surfaces.
I've driven the car daily in all weathers and the tyres are really good, driven enthusiastically on the road
the handling and behaviour was comparable to the Bridgestones, what happens on a track, don't know
but for a road driven car I highly recommend the Dimax Sport.

Tables are ranked by TR Score, which rates each tyre out of 10 using independent test results and owner reviews weighted by how much evidence backs them. Unscored tyres link to their pages, where a review counts towards a score.
Radar EU label data
19 of the 50 tyres on record carry EU label data. These are the range's label headliners, using each tyre's best available size figures.
A Best wet grip
8 tyres reach EU wet grip class A. The highest scoring:
- Radar Dimax Winter 8.5
- Radar Dimax R8+ 6.7
- Radar RPX800 6.6
B Lowest rolling resistance
The most fuel efficient choice: 6 tyres reach rolling resistance class B. The highest scoring:
68dB Quietest tyres
The quietest tyres in the range are labelled from 68 dB external noise:
- Radar Dimax Winter 8.5
- Radar Dimax Alpine 7.2
- Radar Dimax Ice 3.7
Label values come from the EU EPREL database and vary by size - the figures here are each tyre's best declared size. Wet grip and rolling resistance run from class A (best) to E; noise is the measured drive-by figure. A good label is a floor, not a verdict: the tests and rankings above tell you far more.
New Radar tyres
The newest arrival in the range is the Radar Renegade AT. 3 tyres have joined in the last two years:
| Tyre | Season | On the market since | TR Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| Radar Renegade AT | All Season | 2026 | not yet scored |
| Radar Renegade AT Trail | All Season | 2026 | not yet scored |
| Radar Dimax Allseason | All Season | 2024 | not yet scored |
New tyres take time to earn a TR Score - tests have to be run and owner reviews have to arrive. A missing score is a data gap, not a verdict.

The most recent reviews, in their own words
WARNING
We can only explicitly warn against these tires!
Of 4 new tires, the first tire had to be replaced with a new tire after a mileage of only about 26,900 km due to extreme blistering on the sidewall! This new tire burst again after a mileage of only about 10,000 km due to blistering!
After these experiences, we will be switching to a European product.
I wanted a good looking 4WD tyre that worked well both on and off road. The Radar Renegade RT+ is in the sweet spot! I’ve had them for a few years and most likely will for a couple more years. I’ve been towing and living in a caravan for the past year, no problems at all. Highly recommend checking out and getting a set, love that dagger side wall. Saved $ too which is a bonus.
I bought these based on cost, to say have been pleased is putting it mildly. They are fitted to an E60 530d BMW, they transformed its handling. When I bought the BM some 6yrs ago it had run flats, they were binned at first opportunity, Goodyears run flats are dangerous in my opinion no feel no grip horrible. put on Avon ZV7 which werent bad. But the difference with these Radar Dimax Sports is huge, it now handles in wet and dry, I ve been driving for 40yrs so fairly experienced, I would recommend these Radar to anyone they are a very good Tyre, dont let the unknown name put you off
How to replace them, they were crazy slipper on wet ashphalt.
Useless
Had a pair fitted on a cmax. Fine if the roads are smooth but 2 months in pothole claimed the nearside tire. Replaced like for like then 2 weeks later same time develops a leak again poor British road surface. Doesn't seem to stand up to similar conditions as other similar priced tyres I have had so will stay well clear of these in the future.
