vs
Tires RIKEN or Kormoran
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
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
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
I stuck fresh set of Kormorans on a car before I thought they did a good job
Pros: did a good job
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
Vehicle:
Suzuki Vitara
também tenho kormoran e cumpre, não vou dizer que tem qualidade como os do dobro do preço mas existe bem pior
Pros: cumpre, não é o pior
Cons: qualidade média
Kommorons UHP. I had them on my C63, and they weren't bad as a summer tyre. 90% as good as PS4s, for 50% of the price.
Pros: good summer tyre
Cons: not sure how hold
Vehicle:
Mercedes
By the results of their other tires, they seem pretty bad from my experience they are a tier above bottom of the barrel chinese tires
Cons: seem pretty bad, bottom of the barrel
Vehicle:
BMW
После лятото тоя корморан го изхвърли и си купи хубави летни гуми, че си опасен на пътя.
Cons: опасни на пътя
Uma vez meti uns kormoran e parecia que andava de barco.
Cons: sensação de instabilidade
