Default Anybody running Riken Raptor ZRs?

Just bought 2 275/40/17 for my rear and i was wondering how well these tires do on f-bodys. (as in traction, curve stability, etc, etc) Got a great deal on them and had to get rid of my old g-force drag radials.

Anybody running these?

I had them before, they were decent for a cheap tire. Quiet, decent traction, didn't follow grooves in the road. Never had any complaints with them really.

I had a set on my car a while back, and I'll most likely buy aeast two for the front when/if I buy another set of street wheels.

And at $460/set, mounted/balanced, I wasnt going to complain

This exact same subject was discussed in an identical thread just a few weeks ago. Bottom line, everyone bragged on them as being a great deal and gave pretty decent 60 ft times for medium-powered motors.

Have them up front, and had them all around on my old 10 spokes. Good tire, can't beat it for the money.

Agreed, I have had them on 2 different vechicles & never once had a problem out of them. They also do suprisingly well in the rain for a cheap tire.
