What drivers say about their 285/75 R16 tires
The most recent owner reviews fitted in this size, in their own words.
I wanted a good looking 4WD tire that worked well both on and off road. The Radar Renegade RT+ is in the sweet spot! I’ve had them for a few years and most likely will for a couple more years. I’ve been towing and living in a caravan for the past year, no problems at all. Highly recommend checking out and getting a set, love that dagger side wall. Saved $ too which is a bonus.
I use this tire on an 80 series Landcruiser that spend most of its time off road. The road manners are good, but I find the off road traction to be excellent. Packed snow and ice are not fantastic unless you have studs, but deep snow performance is excellent. When I off road in the winter, it is not uncommon to be driving through area with 2 feet of fresh snow and this tire is awesome. Noise is just ok, but it has a fairly aggressive tread, so a little hum is expected. Wear has been great as I got roughly 50k miles out of my last set even with all the off road driving. I didn't see a lot of tread chunking and I have not had a single sidewall puncture in 10 years with these tires (Yes, I am knocking on wood after typing that). Thick mud is the only 'weakness' for this tire as the self cleaning is not quite as good as my last set of BFG KM2's, but considering this is more of an all terrain rather than a mud terrain tire, I cut it some slack. Also does well in sand.
These are excellent tires, I do a bit of off-roading and commuting to work. Super quiet on the highways and reliable off-road. I don't have an overly aggressive driving style so the handling is perfect in the wet.
Truly the second worst tire I have ever owned. Put on a 2003 GMC 2500HD. Drove 35,000 miles on them and that was a stretch. Would not grip on wet pavement. I would get stuck in the yard on flat pavement they were so bad! Would avoid snow because they would slide everywhere.
Would never buy this tire again!

This tire seems to be the worst for towing using an F350 Super Duty 4door, long bed.
I don’t believe that the sidewalls are enough to stop truck balance roll or sway.

Put these on GU patrol wagon and was happy with onroad wet and dry grip and noise. Offroad they performed as well as an all terrain should. I was happy with the rate of wear but very dissapointed with the durability of the sidewalls. After 1st sustaining sidewall damage i replaced with another toyo as the others were still at 80%. Ave since done another 2 sidewalls in fairly mundane conditions. Won't go toyos again.
Great in wet and dry the first three years. After that very slippery in wet conditions. Haven’t tested the tire in Snow.
Great for offroad driving.
