vs
Tires Uniroyal or RIKEN
True budget greats to me are definitely uniroyal rain sport 3. Not dead cheap but used em on the front of all my drift cars for grip and havent got a single complaint.
Pros: good grip, no complaints
Cons: not dead cheap
For a car like a C1 a decent mid-range tyre *that is A-rated for wet grip* would be fine.
Pros: decent mid-range tyre
Vehicle:
Citroen C1
Envy FF-2 19"x8.5" wheels on Uniroyal Power Paw A/S 255/40R19. Has made for a great combo so far. Went with performance all seasons vs summer only due to variety of weather we can get and spring/fall trips to the mountains.
Pros: great combo so far
Vehicle:
Ford
Uniroyal Rainsport 5's great in the Great British Wet
Pros: great in the wet
I need new tires for my taurus 255/45/19. They're all way too expensive except for the uniroyal tiger paws at $135 per tire. I'll be getting them.
Pros: affordable price
Cons: expensive tires
Vehicle:
Ford Taurus
I have 177000 miles on mine, I just went with the value tire. Uniroyal Tiger paws. great so far.
Pros: great so far
Mileage: 284852 km
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
I have these exact tires on my charger except mine are 18in. The tires are coming up on 4 years old with about 30000 miles on them and they are completely fine in everyday driving. If you don't really care about performance then they're fine. They're obviously not a performance tire but for being relatively cheap they are more than adequate in all temperatures and if you drive normally they're fine in the rain. The only time they're kindof sketchy is in snow but as long as you give yourself more time to react and you don't live somewhere super hilly they're fine, especially if your a4 is awd.
Pros: fine in everyday driving
Cons: sketchy in snow
Vehicle:
Dodge Charger
Mileage: 48280 km
I have these tires on my daily from the previous owner, and though they last quite well they are absolutely awful in every other respect. Multiple times Iv lost traction under normal braking, have a difficult time in light snow, and it has the lateral grip of a 75 year old grandmother.
Pros: last quite well
Cons: awful in every respect
When I had my e46 it was wearing a set of Uniroyal Tiger Paws. In the course of the next 30k miles (almost exclusively highway miles), they all warped one by one and had to be replaced. I don't remember exactly how old the tires were but the last one was around 4 years old when it went, and each tire still had a decent amount of tread left in every case. I will never buy Uniroyal tires as long as I live.
Pros: decent amount of tread
Cons: warped one by one
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 48280 km
