Radar Argonite Alpine
EU tyre label for every size: 9 sizes of this winter tyre compared with the rest of the market
The Radar Argonite Alpine is a winter tyre for vans and light trucks. Its supplier has registered it in the EU product database (EPREL) in 9 sizes (10 registrations including load and speed variants), for 16″ to 17″ rims.
Wet grip is rated C–D depending on size, fuel efficiency C–D and external rolling noise 73 dB. Every size carries the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF), the mark for tyres tested in severe snow.
The label depends on the size. Sorted by wet grip, then fuel efficiency, then noise, the best-labelled size on sale is 235/65 R16C (Wet grip C · Fuel efficiency C · 73 dB), the weakest 215/65 R16C (Wet grip D · Fuel efficiency D · 73 dB).
On the EU market since April 2019; the earliest production week registered is 14/2019.
How it compares in its sizes
We compared each size with all other winter and 3PMSF tyres of the same size and class in EPREL (9 sizes had at least four rivals). A size scores when its label is at least as good as 75% of them.
Weakest point: rolling noise, where most same-size rivals do as well or better.
All 9 sizes
The small figure under each class is the share of same-size, same-season tyres this size matches or beats (“–” when fewer than five tyres share the size).
