Both sets are budget tyres,Radar being the worst of the 2 but to be honest,I wouldn’t fit either on a car this size. Andy.

"Chinese ditch finders" as they say (although Radar tyres are made by a Simgaporean company).

I'll echo what has already been said.

And, yes, budget tyres are generally worse than premium ones. An example test here: https://www.tyrereviews.com/Article/Are-Bu...m-Tyre.htm

Choose will be grabber at3 or a decent dual purpose tyre for autumn/winter. Any decent alternatives that don’t cost the earth? |

If you want an all season AT, the Grabber AT3 is a good choice. Works well enough off road, has decent enough manners on road, works well enough in snow (not that great on ice but then even dedicated winter tyres can struggle there too). Remembering, of course, that it's a compromised tyre on road so braking distances, etc., are longer than a pure road tyre.

I've been running Grabber AT3s for 6 or so years, never had a problem with them on or off road. I can be a "spirited" driver on the twistys and again they're perfectly fine and really nothing that a summer/performance tyre could get much better at NSL speeds.

I've found the Goodyear Wrangler AT Adventurer (silly name) to be very good on road so far. Can be driven in a quite spirited manner on road. Haven't tried off road yet, unfortunately, but it is the tyre LR fit to the new Defender if you take the all terrain option, so likely to be ok off road. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

Got the Michilin CrossClimate 2 SUV on mine, look awesome (if thats your thing), very good in wet, Winter Tyre levels of Snow grip, not tried in muddy terrain yet, but they seem notchy enough to do better than a road type. Wearing extrememly well too, over 25k on mine, not even half worn. |
