Default Riken Raptor ZR?

Does anybody have them on their car? How are they? I'm looking to buy a set in 245/50/16. Also, I heard that they're made by Michelin, does anyone know if this is true?

I have them on mines in 275/40/17, they are not too bad. Ride is decent, does good in the rain and I like the tread pattern, not a bad tire for the money, I would go for it if you're getting a good price on them.

Have them in that size on my car. For $93 a tire I'm not complaining. Good tire for daily driving, don't expect great performance out of them. I will not buy them again.

I'm running them on the front. I have no complaints. The tread has held up good.

I bought my current ta with a set of them. They are good for highway use considering the price. They are terrible for anything else though, I have to take exit ramps extra slow in the rain or I will break loose. I also can't catch traction from a launch until I hit 3rd gear. I'm at about 370rwhp. I had some kumho ecsta asx on a fbody before, and they were way better than the rikens for the same price. You should be able to find them for less than 100/tire

I just bought 2 17s & mounted them up. Look aggressive, guy at Belle Tire says theyre a good summer tire. Told him thats good cuz I dont drive it in the winter. Wouldnt suprize me there made by Michelin as they were a PITA to mount up. Never had a tire be that much trouble to install. Dont normally do this but did drive in the rain to see how they handle, not bad at all. For the money theyre a decent tire. They hook a lot better than the Hankooks I had on there.
