2025 Friction and Studded Winter Tire Test P7 of 7Nordic Friction Winter Tires

The Radar Dimax Ice has lower ice grip than the other friction tires in the test, but it is quiet and maintains good rear-end stability even when steering slowly in extreme situations. The tire's behavior on snow is logical, though the front tires tend to lose grip easily at the limit. On asphalt, its grip level is insufficient for both wet and dry conditions, resulting in long braking distances and difficulty with evasive maneuvers due to the front tires losing grip, though the rear remains stable.
