vs
Tires FEDERAL or RIKEN
Tires like the Riken Raptor are a soft tire and performance minded, but not full on track tire (300tw). They perform quite well, but at the same time, are dirt cheap.
Pros: perform quite well
Cons: not full on track
Vehicle:
Mazda
In my experience the best bang for your buck summer tire is the Riken Raptor. They're about $100 a pop and have great dry grip. Downside is that they're not amazing in very wet conditions.
Pros: great dry grip
Cons: not amazing in wet

Riken Raptor ZR A/S RF. These tires were under $400 for a SET (about $86 per tire). 300tw. Aggressive tire pattern. And they are a solid performer for canyon carving. I drove them about 4000 miles over a week this past summer around MATG including some pretty aggressive backroad driving and they held up VERY well. Insanely well given the price.
Pros: solid performer, aggressive pattern
Cons: grip suffers a bit
Mileage: 4000 km

Eu am Riken Snow pe mașina de la lucru, pe uscat zici că e pe șine, nu zice pâs dar pe ud am niște emoții de nu-i adevărat ???? nu doar odată era să fac piruete cu ea la viteze de nimic și stai că astea-s bune că am avut pe masina de la lucru inainte un set blanao de viatti brina, dădeam scârb 1-2-3 pe ud cu 1.4 aspirat, babaiatule...
Pros: pe uscat zici ca e pe sine
Cons: emotii pe ud

I have some rikens as my non-race tires for the c4. They're fine.
Pros: fine performance
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Corvette C4
They seem to grip decent once warmed up, but they are a bit on the loud side.
Pros: grip decent
Cons: a bit loud
In size 225/40 (r18), their thread width is comparable to other makers ~205. Well, does it matter? Yes, in the sense that when you install them onto an 8.5 wide rim, you'll notice that you're stretching the fit, and the sweating starts. Installing a tire alone with a basic tire machine is no longer possible.
Cons: stretching the fit
Uzeo sam pre 2 godine all season riken i za prvih godinu dana nisam primetio nista lose, medjutim od skoro su pocele da se ponasaju dosta lose, drze krivinu solidno dobro ali na gas i kocnicu proklizavaju bas dosta
Pros: drze krivinu solidno dobro
Cons: proklizavaju bas dosta
