The Ironman RB SUV is a budget-friendly option for SUV owners who prioritize treadlife and handling over wet grip performance. With a treadwear warranty of 50,000 miles, it offers decent longevity, though it falls short of the category average of 61,048 miles. Its dry grip and handling scores are competitive, making it a reasonable choice for dry highway driving.
In the highway all-season truck category, treadlife and comfort are key priorities. The RB SUV delivers a treadlife score of 7.5, but its wet grip score of 5 is a notable weakness, especially when compared to the category average of 6.1. This tire lacks the 3PMSF rating, limiting its effectiveness in light snow conditions, which is something to consider if you occasionally encounter winter weather.
When compared to competitors like the Firestone Destination LE3, which offers a 70,000-mile warranty, the RB SUV's warranty is less generous. The Yokohama Geolandar H/T G056 and Hankook Dynapro HT RH12 also provide better wet grip performance, making them more suitable for wet climates.
If wet grip is a priority, consider the Firestone Destination LE3 or Hankook Dynapro HT RH12. The RB SUV is best for those who drive primarily in dry conditions and are looking for an economical option with satisfactory dry handling and treadlife.
