Delinte’s DS8 is an all-season tire that’s designed for muscle cars, performance cars, and SUVs/crossovers, but it’s more than just an ordinary all-season design. The Delinte DS8 delivers the best of both worlds, with the kind of cornering, road manners, steering response, and overall performance you’d expect with a summer or UHP tire, only with generous treadwear coverage and year-round traction. Forget about summer/UHP tires that you have to switch out for all-season tires when temperatures get cold – the Delinte DS8 has got you covered year-round and at a surprisingly affordable price.

But hey, don’t just take our word for it – let’s go in for a closer look with this Delinte DS8 review:

SimpleTire’s view on Delinte DS8 tires

Put simply, our honest opinion is that the Delinte DS8 is a tire that punches far above its weight class and price point. We’re impressed by the road feel and driver feedback that the DS8 offers, with cornering that’s neutral and easy to control right up to the limit. Ride quality is comfortable, if not exactly serene, and the DS8 offers a quiet ride on the highway. Steering response is razor-sharp even with bigger, heavier vehicles, but never to the point of being twitchy or overly sensitive. The DS8’s next-generation, advanced tread compound is designed for solid grip on pavement, but also long wear – the Delinte DS8 is covered by a 50,000 mile warranty. That’s excellent warranty coverage for a tire that’s this affordable. Braking performance is just as capable; the DS8 can be made to break traction with high-horsepower vehicles but is still easy to control in drifts.

Delinte engineered the DS8 to be compatible with staggered fitments (different tire sizes in front and rear), but for standard fitments, its asymmetric all-season tread is designed for ease of rotation, unlike some asymmetric designs. It’s also worth mentioning that this is a tire that just flat-out looks great on a variety of performance cars, a perfect complement to a car’s rakish styling.
