Radar Renegade RT+ review
The Radar Renegade RT+ is a polarizing tire that excels in rugged off-road environments like mud, sand, and rock, while struggling significantly with on-road wet weather performance. While some users appreciate its quiet highway manners and aggressive aesthetics, a recurring consensus points to a lack of traction and stability on wet bitumen.

Pros
- Strong off-road capability in mud, sand, and rocky terrain
- Aesthetically pleasing aggressive tread design
- Surprisingly quiet and comfortable during highway commuting
- Reliable performance in snow and loose off-road surfaces
Cons
- Poor wet-weather traction leading to hydroplaning and loss of control
- Unpredictable handling on gravel surfaces
- High propensity for wheel spin and traction control intervention on wet pavement
- Sensitivity to mixing with other tire brands, causing vehicle instability
Worth knowing
- Lightweight vehicles like the Suzuki Jimny report significant oversteer and rear-end instability in wet conditions.
- Users noted that mixing these tires with other brands on the same vehicle can lead to severe handling issues and 'wandering' on the road.
