Tires Sava or RIKEN
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
Sava zimska guma, Mazda CX3, prošao sam svim neočišćenim ulicama metropole ćacistana, uzbrdo, po ravnom i nizbrdo, bez ikakvih problema. Samo polako i paželjivo
Pros: bez ikakvih problema
Vehicle:
Mazda
Zimske sava sve 4 na starom malom krsu, ide ko zmaj
Pros: ide ko zmaj
Najobičnije zimske Sava gume (nove doduše), prednji pogon, konzervativno korištenje kočnice i sve top!
Pros: konzervativno korištenje kočnice
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

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
Vehicle:

Eskimo , aderenta f buna pe zapada/gheata daca ai ocazia ,zgomotoase pe uscat.
Pros: aderență bună pe zăpadă/gheață
Cons: zgomotoase pe uscat
I'm aware these are crap, and chunking as fuck, and that they are old and a budget brand called Sava. I won't use them, cause I'm a scraddycat and don't want to risk my ass, car or family for a pair of tires, which in the long run is not that much of money in Eustern Europe where I'm at.
Cons: crap quality, chunking, old

Pros: drze krivinu solidno dobro
Cons: proklizavaju bas dosta
