Radar RPX900



Description

The Radar RPX900 is a summer touring tire designed for compact cars, midsize sedans, and crossovers. Its asymmetric tread pattern and high-performance rubber compound prioritize dry and wet traction, while optimized pitch sequencing reduces road noise. The tire’s construction balances responsive handling with everyday comfort, though it lacks all-season or winter certification.

Features & Benefits

  • Asymmetric Tread Design: Stabilizes cornering grip and water evacuation for confident wet-road performance.
  • Noise-Optimized Pitch Sequence: Disrupts harmonic frequencies to minimize cabin noise at highway speeds.
  • Fuel-Efficient Compound: Low rolling resistance improves mileage without sacrificing dry-road responsiveness.
  • Extended Tread Life: Durable rubber formulation resorts wear for prolonged usability.
  • Radar Protect Program: Includes a 45,000-mile treadwear warranty and road hazard coverage.

Year Released

The RPX900 debuted in 2011.

Regions Availability

Marketed in North America (USA, Canada) and Europe.

Vehicle Compatibility / Popular Vehicle Fitments

  • Honda Civic / Accord
  • Toyota Corolla / Camry
  • Volkswagen Golf / Jetta
  • Ford Focus / Fusion
  • Hyundai Elantra / Tucson
  • Nissan Sentra / Rogue

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

Final Thoughts

The RPX900 suits budget-minded drivers needing reliable summer performance with an emphasis on comfort and longevity. Its asymmetric tread delivers adequate wet and dry grip for daily commuting, though it falls short of the sharp handling seen in modern UHP rivals like the Michelin Pilot Sport 4. The 45,000-mile warranty and low noise levels are standout features, but the aging design lacks advanced siping or compound technologies found in newer models.
