Only a miracle could have lifted the Radar Dimax Ice from the bottom of the ranking, but it never came. Things could have been worse if the Singaporean manufacturer hadn’t received expert help from Nokian. Thanks to this guidance, the tire managed to surprise with its decent grip on ice and solid cornering stability, even outperforming some top-tier models in these areas. However, being the best among the worst is little consolation, and its low price doesn’t fully justify its overall performance. Manufactured in China during the 24th week of 2023, this tire has a tread depth of 8.0 mm, a Shore hardness of 53 units, and weighs 9.9 kg. Priced at 1129 NOK, with a load and speed index of 94T, the Radar Dimax Ice still struggles to compete in this lineup.

The Radar Dimax Ice, a budget-friendly option from Chinese manufacturing, lags behind higher-ranked models in ice grip—both longitudinal and lateral—but still offers a stable and predictable ride. On snow, its performance is moderate but steady, handling complex conditions with consistency. On wet and dry asphalt, however, it shows limitations in braking efficiency and steering response, though it maintains decent lateral grip. Low noise levels contribute to a quieter ride, yet the rolling resistance is higher, impacting fuel economy. For drivers seeking an affordable winter tire with reliable, if limited, winter capabilities, Radar Dimax Ice is a reasonable choice.
