I saw these but there's very little write up about them. Tread design looks nice and the price is definitely acceptable.

Re: Anyone tried the Riken's Z Raptor ZR RF BSW tire
i had a set of these rubbers on 17in enkeis not too long ago, on my mx and within a few weeks i had blown three of them. Now its just my oppinion but on every one of them that blew it was the sidewall that gave out, and when i put them on i had them balanced and an alignment done. So i just dont know. I didnt have much luck with them but then again i dont with a lot of tire brand. In the end its your choice, would i run them again, prolly not.

Re: Anyone tried the Riken's Z Raptor ZR RF BSW tire
i had these on my protege, 205/50r17 i was actually pretty surprised how nice they were.
protege was a 2.0t 5speed that i drove extremely hard, tires gripped well, braking was good. tires survived 2 accidents that involved lockup. i sold the car to a friend who rebuilt it and has put roughly another 25-30 thousand km's and i saw him yesterday and tires were gonna be replaced next season with roughly 2/32 of tread left at approx 40-45 total km's of total life.
pretty decent tire if you ask me

Re: Anyone tried the Riken's Z Raptor ZR RF BSW tire
Your best bet is to go to Discount tire and read some reviews. I've seen that it has treadwear of only 300, so I don't see it lasting more than 30K if that, pretty soft tire imo

30k eh, so even thought they're cheap to buy you pay for them in lost mileage.

Re: Anyone tried the Riken's Z Raptor ZR RF BSW tire
It's my opinion, I guess they might last less/more depending on weight of car, driving habits, etc. Best bet is to read reviews on their site (Discount tire) I know they will prorate tires if they get worn out before warranty expires and they will give you percentage off of new set of tires.Daninski wrote:30k eh, so even thought they're cheap to buy you pay for them in lost mileage.
