Tires RIKEN or OEM Porsche
Reviews
Licna preporuka za neku budget gumu je Riken, odlicna po suhom, drzi nenormalno po suhom, nesto slabija po mokrom.
Pros: odlicna po suhom
Cons: slabija po mokrom
Skip the brake fluid flush. Go find tires elsewhere. I have a Macan and got non N rated all season tires. Way cheaper than what Porsche will sell you.
Pros: way cheaper
Vehicle:
Porsche
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
Punctures that didn't go deep in the tread usually would be fine. Looks llike they sprayed water on it and there are no air bubbles indicating air leaking.
Pros: no air leaking
Vehicle:
Porsche
Rikens are fine. They're quite a soft tyre, probably because like you said Michelin make them butbthat does meant the grip is decent.
Pros: decent grip, soft tyre
Speaking of cheap tires, I recently switched my tired old 41k mile Sumitomo ZIII with these $43 in 225/45 17 Riken raptor ZR and quite surprised how well they are. They grip as good as my ZIII did, way quieter and rain performance was fantastic. I was hesitant at first until I read reviews on tirerack phrasing these are great tires and they are definitely good. I also learned Riken is part of the Michelin tires company so its probably of decent build quality.
Pros: grip as good, way quieter
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Mileage: 65982 km
My “RíKEN RAPTOR” tires sound pretty… well I think about my driving on cooler temp roads with corners or any moisture.
Cons: sound pretty
I recently bought a ‘16 with 6,500 miles. Most everything checked out but the tires were original and dry rotted to hell.
Cons: tires were dry rotted
Vehicle:
Porsche
Mileage: 6500 km
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
Had an alignment done at a Porsche dealer here in TX, gave them a printout of the specs a shop in CA had aligned it to. Come to find out they were way off and I ended up destroying the inside edge of my front track tires.
Cons: destroyed inside tire edge
Vehicle:
Porsche
