It doesn’t matter how much power your engine makes or how trick your suspension is – if you don’t have good tires under you, it’s all for naught. Now, Radar Tires is launching its new Dual-Sidewall Rengeade A/T Pro series, made to fit Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra pickup trucks.
Designed specifically as an all-terrain compound for SUVs and light trucks, the Radar Tires Renegade A/T Pro series looks to offer both enhanced performance off-road, as well as a quiet, comfortable ride on road. The special Rattlesnake Edition also includes the image of snakes around the sidewall, adding a custom look for your Chevy Silverado or GMC Sierra.
“The Renegade A/T Pro has been designed using a biomimetics approach taking inspiration from nature,” said President and CEO at Omni United, GS Sareen. “We felt the rattlesnake best embodied the grip and quiet, yet aggressive features of the tire.”
The outer sidewall, or “Fang Side,” provides increased traction, while the inner sidewall, or “Rattle Tail Side,” is designed for increased protection. The tread face incorporates an optimized interlocking tread block design, with wide center tread blocks running down the middle of the tire for improved stability and response. The tires are made from a silica-based compound that resists cuts and chips, improving mileage and tread life.
The Renegade A/T Pro also includes a special stone ejector technology to reduce stone retention and the possibility of body damage, plus “M” sipes in the tread blocks for even better wet and snow traction.
The new tires are offered with a 50,000-mile treadwear limited warranty and road hazard warranty. Interested customers can order theirs in a variety of sizes that fit 17- to 22-inch rim diameters, up to an F-rated load range. Additional sizes will be released in Q2 and Q3 of 2022. Key fitments include the Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra.

WTF is Radar Tires? Sounds like one of the Taiwanese companies making absolute crap tires that look good and sell for cheap.
I’m trying to think of of the goofy brand that was referred to me a few years ago, the guy swore by them, well what he swore by was the price and tread pattern. They got chewed to piece off road and he had flat and flat of road side issues. I often wondered about when I see people changing a tire at the side of the highway nowadays, and asked a CAA (same as AAA) roadside tech and it’s generally 50:50, either tires with very low pressure, or cheapcheap crappy tires. Said it’s amazing how many X5, or similar, owners with nice vehicles will put dog crap tires on. All about image, same goes for the AT tires with meaty side walls. I’d love a set to prove me wrong lol, but I bet I’m pretty on the nose.
They’re a Singaporean company gets tires from contract manufacturing in China, Thailand, Indonesia, and India.
Hard pass.
Three places never to skimp are tires, brakes, and steering.
Support USA-made tires.
Who even makes tires in America anymore? A lot of Goodyears are from outside the country now.
Most foreign brands are US made. Off the top of my head, Continental, Michelin/BFG, Toyo/Nitto, Bridgestone/Firestone all have plants here.
It helps that the US has significant tire tariffs and that we drive bigger cars, requiring bigger tires, than the rest of the world.
Many brands make then in and out of country. Goodyear is now the only American owned brand now that they bought out Cooper tire.
Goodyear makes most for the states here or Canada but the lower cost tires can come from Chile. Many of their overseas plants make tires for their markets over seas.
Even though the companies headquarters are gone from Akron Ohio other than Goodyear most have tech centers here yet and even some of the Korean companies have tech centers here now.
The trick to buying tires is this. How old is the design and tech in the tire. Also you get often what you pay for.
Every brand has old tire tech and low cost models and then they offer new latest tech and they cost more. Often they can still sport the same name like Pilot, TA or Eagle. Just don’t assume a big name is the latest tech if it is cheap.
Keep in mind that often tires with off brand names can be very much like the big name as they are often owned and built in the same plants. Dunlop, Kelly Springfield and Cooper and others are Goodyear. Michelin are BFG, Riken, Uniroyal and others.
Continental can be General and Hoosier. Bridgestone is Firestone.
It’s going to be interesting to see what happens with Avon and MT race and road tires now that Goodyear has taken over Cooper. Goodyear gutted their non Cup and NHRA race tire lineup years ago. Conti really cut out a lot of cross ply variations used for club and autocross after taking over Hoosier. The cost of the Avon’s we’re already putting the hurt on vintage, autocross, and hill climbers before the pandemic and now it’s just gotten super ridiculous to get anything, and then pay for them.
To get American-made tires, go to German and French companies.
Continental makes all kinds of tires here, and I have had very good luck with them.
Michelin makes tires here under the names Michelin, BF Goodrich, and Uniroyal.
Similar to getting cars put together by your “neighbors”: buy German, Korean, or Japanese makes and look at the origin listings on the Monroney Sticker.
There’s a Goodyear plant in North Carolina.
If they’re going to do paid advertisements as ‘articles’ they should note it as such. Or at least do a review the tire for Pete’s sake. This place does about 2 actual reviews a year and the rest is rehashed press releases
I can’t take these tires seriously. Nore do I want some bro dozing swampers.
No step on snek
looks like there marketing to a 18 year old kid out of high school, yet tell me how many school kids can afford 80K trucks, not many with out a proud dad. all GM trucks are marketed towards gear heads and off roaders , yet 98% of the time there on a highway. put michelins on there , its a real tire , instead of this gimicky junk. bed steps , rear bumper steps are gimicks too, and they look like an eye sore on the truck because they are black and unfinished just like there cheap wheel lip moldings and there stupid mounted mirrors, blown plastic interiors , cheap thin seats , little tiny knobs on dash, and all dark colors to blend with the cheap unfinished plastics.
I got Renegades M/T 33″s. They get the job done, fine. Haven’t got stuck yet. Low road noise, good balance.
GOOD YEAR TIRES = GOOD FOR A YEAR , JUNK TIRES from GM Bean counters
With one or two notable exceptions, Michelin beats Good Year ( except in price) hands down. The exceptions are the Garbage Michelin tires GM is putting on several of their mid-size SUV’s that have exceptionally short tread life while the Good Year tire in the same size at least doubles the tread life expectancy of the Michelin. Primacy Tour is the Michelin tire to avoid and reviews from the Clubs like Sam’s and Costco are horrible and the guys at the tire counters even recommend against buying them.
yes for sure , Good years use a harder rubber compound , so the traction and ride stink. michelins are softer grip road better. on 80 trucks, I dont see the big deal getting tires a year sooner for the safety on a 80K truck, besides it dont matter what tire it is , after 3 years they rubber compound gets hard and truck rides like crap anyway even if the tire is not worn. good year tires are cheap tires , its why they cost half what michelins do.
WRONG…I just priced replacement tires for my 2014 silverado 20 inch original Goodyear wrangler….I wanted more of a sport tire….but the Wranglers newest cost over $1100.00 for 4 tires…the Michelin similar style tire was $950.00….and the Michelin had a better and longer mileage warranty….end of story…I still am looking for a tire with more of a sports mindset…The currant wranglers have 15,500 miles and down to 6/32…lousy mileage and have [from new] no damn wet traction…in rain I always “must” put her in 4 wheel drive just for decent traction!
I’ve been driving since 1965, and the only good Good Years I ever had were the Forteras that came with a 2014 Durango. I was all set to replace them right away, but they worked just fine.
They were the only set of Good Years I ever had or drove on that were round, and didn’t require a lot of balance weights.
There will be tires featuring gargoyles and lions soon.
Since I have cars, I always put Good Year tires on my Chrysler than GM cars.
All four seasons tires has been made in USA like all winter tires since Good Year closed its winter tires plant in Québec.
Lately I bought winter tires from Good Year and they are US made. I checked before ordering.
Some lines of Good Year and Kelly are unfortunately Made in Chile.
I can write up tire brands experiences for days that I’ve bought for my truck over the 13 years. But I will….lol
Bridgestone AT = 7 in snow, wear, quietness and wet. Original OEM tire. Expensive to replace. Got near 45k miles. Not worth the price.
Firestone AT = 9.5 in snow, excellent wear and quietness, great in wet. Got near 60k miles. Price was hiked up and decided to move on…damn it.
Cooper AT = 7.5 wear on the corners were the hit. Outside of that, worked well in all elements. Got near 48k miles. Not going back.
Goodyear AT Wrangler = 8 cheapest ever! 106. ea. and worth it. On now and they have around 35k miles and two winters and still look new…I know…right…I’m amazed these Goodyear’s are hanging tough. Originally bought as throw aways at 50k miles but looks like heck of a lot more and still quiet… Handled the winters just as good as any of the brands above AT tires and under 600.00 with warranty and free rotation. Love it. After I bought them, Goodyear funded/supported BLM and Antifa and I will not buy from them again. My choice…
My first choice is still Firestone. But second are BFGoodrich ATs. Badash in snow. Had these on my very first truck and were awesome in deep snow. Just way too expensive tho…
10 years ago, couldn’t get anyone to buy Falken tires for cars unless 400 bucks…today they are very popular with AT3w on all major trucks.
Maybe intentional not to mention where the Radars are produced.
Apologize for the long thread…
We ran Radar tires on the class 10 buggy I used to crew for. Got 2nd in the Vegas to Reno race. I don’t know much about their street tires, but the ones we raced off-road with were actually pretty good.
My 18 GMC came with Bridgestones and they hsve worn well. Will replace with same.
Let’ see-they are a BRAND NEW tire that no one has used yet and the statements above are they take a lot of lead to balance and they are crap tires.
Yet- no one has run them yet.
I take the advice on par for what I paid to comment here…..
I see comments above yours from people who have bought and used these tires; one in races.
