vs
Tires RIKEN or MRF
I have the masseter on my bike and I'm happy with it.
Pros: happy with it
Recently bought some Rikens(Japanese tyre company that is now owned by Michelin and made in EU) for my wife's car and they are smooth AF.
Pros: smooth AF
Idk if the showroom guys have control over that because I asked for Apollo and I got MRF. The sales guy told me the bikes get allocated at random.
But coming to the tyre itself I would say the MRFs are good only. Never felt the lack of grip except one time when my tyre was in slushy mud. Appearance wise also the MRF's look a little wider compared to the Apollo's since the tyre profile is more curved in the latter if that matters to you.
Pros: good grip, wider appearance
Cons: lack of grip in mud
Economical and life span, I would recomend mrf wanderer. 6k per tire and will give you 70k+ km life.
Pros: economical, long life
Vehicle:
Suzuki
Mileage: 70000 km
Harder tires like MRF, Ceat, JK etc., will offer good lifetime and low wear and tear.
Pros: good lifetime, low wear
Vehicle:
Suzuki
My “RíKEN RAPTOR” tires sound pretty… well I think about my driving on cooler temp roads with corners or any moisture.
Cons: sound pretty
We used to use the P Zero Nero as they came on our mustang but they just didn't have the traction we wanted...We replaced them with RIKEN RIKEN RAPTOR ZR tires @ about $100 each (raw tire)
The Riken handle better on blacktop, although it's no super sticky tire but the front end doesn't plow near as bad.
Pros: handle better on blacktop
Cons: no super sticky tire
Vehicle:
Ford Mustang
Mileage: 30000 km
First don't buy MRF Nylogrip FE. Very thin tyre despite being of the same size. It skids easily with a little lean and you won't be confident.
Cons: skids easily, very thin
Need to replace the front soon, I hate the Zappers the longevity is very good it lasts ages but the grip and breaking is pathetic.
Pros: very good longevity
Cons: pathetic grip, breaking
I have beef with MRF, their compound is so hard it makes it seem like I am on roller skates in a wet skating ring when it’s raining.
Cons: hard compound, slippery when wet
