CST Sahara CS900



Description

The CST Sahara CS900 is an all-season, on-/off-road all-terrain tire designed for light trucks and SUVs, blending highway comfort with light off-road capability. Its aggressive tread pattern features staggered shoulder blocks and lateral grooves for traction on loose surfaces, while a silica-enhanced compound reduces rolling resistance for improved fuel efficiency. The reinforced casing withstands impacts from uneven terrain, and a variable pitch tread design minimizes road noise.

Features & Benefits

  • Energy-Saving Silica Compound: Enhances fuel efficiency and reduces environmental impact without sacrificing grip on wet or dry roads.
  • Reinforced Carcass Construction: Improves puncture resistance and load-bearing capacity for rugged terrain and heavy payloads.
  • Variable Pitch Tread Design: Lowers noise levels for a quieter ride, ideal for long highway drives.
  • Staggered Shoulder Blocks: Provide additional biting edges for traction on gravel, dirt, and light mud.
  • EU Label Ratings: Speed symbols (H, T, V) and load indices (99–112) accommodate diverse vehicle weights and driving speeds.

Year Released

Launched in 2018, the Sahara CS900 remains CST’s primary all-terrain offering for European markets, marketed as a balanced on-/off-road solution.

Regions Availability

Exclusively available in Europe.

Vehicle Compatibility / Popular Vehicle Fitments

Available in 17” and 18” diameters, the CS900 suits mid-size SUVs and light trucks, including:

  • Volkswagen Tiguan, Touareg
  • Ford Kuga, Ranger
  • BMW X3, X5
  • Mercedes-Benz GLC, GLE
  • Toyota Land Cruiser, Hilux
  • Nissan X-Trail, Navara

Note: Always consult with a tire specialist or the vehicle’s manufacturer to ensure correct tire fitment.

Final Thoughts

The Sahara CS900 caters to European SUV and light truck owners needing a tire for mixed driving conditions—urban commuting, highway travel, and occasional off-road use. Its reinforced construction and tread design handle gravel or dirt trails competently but lack the deep lugs required for severe mud or rock crawling. The focus on fuel efficiency and noise reduction makes it a practical choice for drivers prioritizing on-road comfort over extreme off-road performance. While not a premium alternative to brands like BFGoodrich or Michelin, it delivers reliable all-terrain capability at a competitive price point, ideal for cost-conscious buyers seeking versatility.
