Great handling. The only thing is that in a period of a year I had 3 flats, which makes me think they are not the most robust for everyday driving conditions. In fact because they are hard to find in my state (CA), I have already bought an extra set of 4 that I am storing until I need to replace them. This time I bought the ones you can drive on when flat since my car does not carry a spare.

Amazing tire for the money. CHanged from run-flats on my BMW to these tires. Love the quiet ride and when pushed these tires do well. Are they as good as my previous Pirelli P-Zero run-flats, No they are not but they are 85% of the handling with better tread life, rider quieter and the cost of all four installed was less than one of the Pirelli tires.
Dimax R8 tires were built for ultra-high performance and high-performance vehicles. The tread design includes a patented UHP tread compound for greater grip. It also improves wet and dry traction, and the Variable Pitch Ratio gives the tire reduce noise on the road. Note the wide circumferential grooves on the Dimax R8 tires. These allow the rapid expulsion of water from between the tire and the road. Dimax R8 tires offer reduced hydroplaning with this technology. The tread compound also gives the tires low rolling resistance. The Dimax R8 tires are eco-friendly and fuel efficient. The asymmetric tread pattern has an overall three tread design to give the tires a superior ultra-high performance. The Dimax R8 tire is popular in the OEM and UHP replacement markets. It is rated for summer use, and the belt package included in the tire's interior composition allows for greater stability at low or high speeds, extending the life of the tire.
