I have heard good things about them and i can get them for under 100 bucks. My car is a DD so I dont need GS D3s or any tire like that. So does anyone use these tires out here? pros/cons?

I have them on my fronts, used to run them all 4. Great bargain tire, good wet traction for those few times it rains too. I highly reccomend them, not much road noise and most important they don't follow grooves in the road like kumhos and some of the other cheaper ones. For the price I can't really see a negative to them, not top of the line but pretty damn decent.

Lee had em I remember. Maybe he will have good input.

Me personally, I'd hate to run a bargain tire, although I know riken is made by michellin.

i had them on all four for a while (got the car with them on).
decent in the wet, doesn't follow grooves on road, but don't expect too much traction.

im not going to drag with them or anything like that. my stock 16s possibly have dry rot so i figure this is the perfect time to throw on the ZR1s

My sister is running them right now. She likes them and hasn't complained about them.

how many miles should i expect from them?

ha.. too many. i kept telling myself i'd wear them down before i'd replace them and couldn't even get them down to 50% without doing burnouts.

they have a 300 wear rating which isn't the best, but its great for the money.
if you're not looking for the greatest traction performance, its a decent tire.

I have had them on my set of "stock" 16s since 2005 and they still have tread on them. They're cracking from age and im pretty sure they've developed flat spots or need to be rebalanced. Easily put over 25k miles on them and they're still going strong with lots of tread left. They're OK for a street tire. Definitely better than a lot of tires I used but definitely not anything I want to use at the track or in the rain. In fact I felt safer driving in the rain on 275 Nitto 555's front and 275 555Rs rear on 17" wheels than on my 245/50/16 Riken Raptors. They are fine for DD. Just don't attempt autocross maneuvers on the street and you'll be fine. That said, I recently threw 'em on and did an Angeles Crest run and was pretty much able to keep up with the LS1 guys in front of me with more suspension work, so I guess they're not too bad. The passenger in the 370Z behind me was making hand gestures though so maybe 70MPH uphill around corners wasn't fast enough?? I have also driven them through a hail/sleet/rain storm through the Snoqualmie pass without dying or sliding so I guess they aren't bad if you are driving carefully.
