vs
Tires RIKEN or WANLI
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

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 a shitbox I daily drive in the city (an old Hyundai Accent). I don't want to spend too much money on its tires so I bought a set of 185/55r15 Wanli Harmonics for only around 170 USD including mounting and balancing. I've driven 6000 miles on it so far.
Pros: Cheap
Cons: Noisy, doesn't have that much grip (I can do a front wheel burnout now with 140hp lol), wears out quickly (I've already shaved maybe 20% of its tread)
Pros: Cheap
Cons: Noisy, wears quickly
Vehicle:
Hyundai Accent
Mileage: 9656 km
My wife had Wanli tires on a car she bought at one time, didn't last long either.
Cons: didn't last long

I’ve been running Riken Raptor ZR A/S tires since I got my WRX just over a year ago and FINALLY got my hands on a set of Blizzaks. I’m excited to see how they handle any future snows here in Colorado Springs. We just had a good bit of snow dumped on us this past week and the all seasons were definitely showing signs of needing replacement.
Cons: needing replacement
Vehicle:
Subaru
