vs
Tires RIKEN or Triangle
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
Imk kinus ir nesuk galvos. Pats su 330i su triangle kazkokiais važiavau, buvo labai gerai, geriau nei su naudotais nokianais. Kabliukas tame, kad antrą žiemą kur kas prasčiau kibo, trečią visai akmeninės. Tai kinus perki vieniem metam.
Pros: labai gerai, geriau nei
Cons: antra žiemą prasčiau kibo

I have driven a lot on Triangle winter tyres at work for 2 years. They were as good or better than the Continental and Nokian tyres from the years before.
Pros: good performance, comparable to premium brands
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:

My “RíKEN RAPTOR” tires sound pretty… well I think about my driving on cooler temp roads with corners or any moisture.
Cons: sound pretty
Poteva andare peggio: potevi aver preso delle Triangle AdvanteX TC101...
Triangle tires tend to be very bumpy at low speeds.
Cons: bumpy at low speeds
