By all reports from owners a good performer.

My brother has them (in a different size) and is in the Kimberly ATM. He's very happy with them so far.

Great fit.

Then look at something like a Radar Renegade RT.
Aggressive Without the noise.

It’s early days so far (I’m testing a set) and I’m bloody impressed.

Just fitted a set to Emma’s 90 also.

Are these the Renegade R/T Mike .. or the R/T+ ?
I'm no sure if there is any major differences in them.
Also, what's the noise level like compared to an A/T ... do you need to increase the radio volume in your Disco when on the bitumen?

There are continual stock issues with that brand.

Reports on the tyres,as Tombie said are fantastic.

I was after a set, but none the size I needed until June next yr.

And their advice was always get at least 5 in case one is destroyed and they are out of stock in that particular size, which is a common issue.

R/T+



There is a quiet humming, I don’t find it intrusive especially considering the grip afforded. Ever so slightly more than my very quiet Falken AT3W which were better than the D697s they replaced previously.

When I was shopping around the blokes at Bob Jane told me the R/T+ are being discontinued. This was about 10 weeks ago. Unsure if true or not, they’ll say anything to sell a more expensive set of tyres.

All good my way.
I’ll likely switch to something else to try once they’re done. I like trying different gear to see what’s out there.
