Riken Raptor ZR - does anyone have these?

Hey guys,

There's not a lot of info out there on this tire yet. From what I can tell it looks like the brand is owned by Michelin, and is probably their idea of a budget performance summer tire. They look cool, but the reviews are pretty mixed.

Has anyone used these? I'm sticking w/ my plan to get the Sumitomo HTR Z II regardless but just thought I'd see if anyone has played guinea pig w/ these.

Regards,

Jeff

I had these on my 1995 Taurus SHO that I had Cragar SS 17x7 chrome wheels on. They were 235/45/17 I believe. Great tire. Held up for 2 summers of HARD driving which was about 25,000 miles. These aren't amazing tires by any means but they worked well in the wet and dry grip was very predictable. Definitely a step up from Kumho's in performance and about the same price when I got them a few years ago. Once they start to wear, they go fast though. Mine looked fine like they had plenty of tread left then a week later they were almost toast lol. But I think that's somewhat normal for performance tires?
