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.

Weak: Dry Braking, Subj. Dry Handling, Wet Handling, Ice Braking, Ice Traction Winner: Continental VikingContact 8

2024 Nordic Friction Winter Tire Test

Vi Bilagare 225/45 R17

The Radar Dimax Ice performed poorly overall, though showed reasonable ice grip thanks to its soft compound. However, it failed in most other areas with extended braking distances on both wet and dry surfaces, early aquaplaning, high noise levels, and unpredictable handling under pressure. Despite its low price point, its limited capabilities make it poor value.
