Radar Launches New Renegade A/T and A/T Trail All Terrain Tyres
Radar has replaced the Renegade A/T5 in North America with a new all terrain range: the Renegade A/T for SUVs and light trucks, and the road biased Renegade A/T Trail for crossovers. Both are 3PMSF rated, and both are so far untested independently.

Radar replaces the Renegade A/T5 with a new all-terrain range for 2026
Radar, the flagship tyre brand of Singapore-based Omni United, has introduced a new pair of all-terrain tyres: the Renegade A/T for SUVs and light trucks, and the road-biased Renegade A/T Trail for crossovers and softer SUVs. Both were shown to distributors in July 2026 at a ride-and-drive event in the Geres region of northern Portugal, and both carry the three-peak mountain snowflake marking. In North America the Renegade A/T takes over from the outgoing Renegade A/T5 and from the Renegade A/T Pro, the 2022 dual sidewall model whose two sided sidewall design it inherits.
Positioning
The two tyres split the all-terrain segment by how much off-road ability the buyer actually needs. The Renegade A/T is the harder-working option, offered in metric and LT sizes with load ranges up to F and mostly S and T speed ratings, which puts it against the established all-terrain names on pickups and body-on-frame SUVs. The Renegade A/T Trail is sold purely in metric extra-load sizes with H and V speed ratings, so it is aimed at crossover owners who want the look and the winter rating without an LT tyre's weight and noise.
European buyers get a third option that is not part of this launch. The Renegade A/T Sport remains on sale in Europe alongside the Renegade A/T5, in LT sizes only, and uses a different tread pattern and compound to the new Renegade A/T.
Key technical changes
- Radar calls the Renegade A/T's pattern "Terrain King", and says its dense siping and rigid tread blocks are meant to hold on to wet-road braking stability while adding rough-surface traction.
- The company describes the grooves as "OmniShield": serrated groove walls with stone ejectors and tie bars, which it says reduce stone retention and steady the tread blocks.
- Radar says the tread compound is temperature-adaptive, and claims it improves wet grip while resisting cuts and chips.
- A wear indicator moulded into the tread, which Radar calls the "Circle of Tread Life", starts as a full circle and fades as the tyre wears, disappearing at roughly 20 per cent remaining tread.
- The Renegade A/T has a dual sidewall, with a different design moulded on each side so the fitter can choose which one faces out.
- The Renegade A/T Trail uses a milder "Trail King" pattern and what Radar calls a "Tri-Armor" arrangement of stone ejectors, tie bars and groove lifts, with a raised shoulder.
Manufacturer claims and what is missing
Radar's chief executive GS Sareen said the company had tested the range against leading premium brands and that "the results speak for themselves". The durability and wet-grip claims above are the manufacturer's own. Radar has since put figures behind one of those comparisons, against a single Cooper rival, which we go through below.
No independent magazine or motoring club test has yet run any Radar all-terrain tyre, including the outgoing Renegade A/T5 and Renegade A/T Pro, so there is still no neutral benchmark for where these tyres sit in the segment. Radar's road tyres have appeared in large European magazine tests such as the 2026 Auto Bild summer braking test, but a summer road tyre tells you very little about how an all-terrain tyre will behave.
Radar's own comparison against the Cooper Discoverer Stronghold A/T
Radar has published results from a head to head test against the Cooper Discoverer Stronghold A/T. The testing was carried out from 12 to 14 January 2026 on a 2022 Ford F-250 4WD, in LT265/70R17, at ambient temperatures of 50 to 67F, by Smithers, an independent test house used widely across the industry. Radar commissioned and paid for the test.
| Category | Radar Renegade A/T | Cooper Discoverer Stronghold A/T | Winner |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wet handling (1-10) | 8.5 | 5.5 | Radar, +3.0 |
| Ride comfort (1-10) | 6.0 | 5.0 | Radar, +1.0 |
| Highway handling (1-10) | 6.0 | 5.0 | Radar, +1.0 |
| Noise (1-10) | 4.5 | 4.0 | Radar, +0.5 |
| Wet braking, 60-0 mph | 184.2 ft | 191.7 ft | Radar, 7.5 ft shorter |
| Dry braking, 60-0 mph | 164.2 ft | 156.3 ft | Cooper, 7.9 ft shorter |
The Renegade A/T scores higher in all four rated categories and stops 7.5 feet shorter in the wet. The Cooper stops 7.9 feet shorter in the dry.
Four of the six results, ride, noise and both handling figures, are subjective ratings awarded by test drivers rather than instrumented measurements, so they carry less weight than the two braking distances. On the one to ten scale used, where ten is most favourable, the noise scores were 4.5 and 4.0, so the Renegade A/T wins that category while both tyres rate poorly in absolute terms.
This is one size, on one vehicle, against a single rival, so it is not a substitute for a neutral group test against the segment's benchmarks.
Sizes and availability
- Renegade A/T: 89 sizes covering 15 to 24 inch wheels. Radar says 44 were available to order at launch, with the remaining 45 due in the third quarter of 2026.
- Renegade A/T Trail: 42 sizes covering 15 to 22 inch wheels, 19 available at launch and 23 due in the third quarter of 2026.
- Renegade A/T Sport (Europe): 14 LT sizes covering 15 to 20 inch wheels, load range D and E, all rated S.
- Radar quotes a 55,000 mile treadwear warranty on P-metric sizes and 50,000 miles on LT sizes, plus a road hazard warranty and a 30 day satisfaction guarantee.
What it means for drivers
Radar sells on price, and an all-terrain range with a three-peak marking across every size and a treadwear warranty attached is a reasonable pitch to buyers who cannot justify a premium all-terrain tyre. What it does not yet have is evidence. All-terrain tyres involve unusually sharp trade-offs between off-road traction, wet braking, noise and wear, and marketing copy cannot tell you where a given tyre has chosen to give ground. We will report on how these claims hold up once the tyres are available to test.
