Riken Raptor ZR tire

Hi all,

I own a 2007 MCS with 20K miles. My OEM Dunlop runflat tires need replacement (front: 1/32, back 3/32).

I will buy non runflat to save money, budget is my biggest concern yet I don't want to lose too much performance. I found the Riken Raptor ZR (205/45-17) for $90 in Discount Tire, $500 out the door for set of four.

Does anyone has any experience on these tires? How is the performance base on the price? Any other recommendations?

Thanks all.

Cheap junk. Don't get them. Many more options out there. Keep looking. Try 215/45r17 for a size.

Yeah I would stay away from "generic" tires like Nexen, LingLong, Rotella, Riken, Runway, and Nankang.

Stick to a good "budget" tire like Nitto NeoGen or Falken ZE-912 both tires tied for first in Consumer Reports for UHP tires and are both in the $90 range for 215/40-17 tire.
