If you've got a part/product you want to talk about you can, you just can't promote them for sale or link the vendor or vendors selling them.

I'm also a member who gets excited about things so sometimes I forget to view what I'm posting from my admin perspective. If you feel something in this thread violates the rules then let me know. Having said that I realized I did put pricing in the initial post, which I'll remove now since that does violate forum policy.

I can get the rear wheels to break free if I whip it around a U-Turn really hard, but on the twisties, these tires hold the road like they were glued to it. I like the feel of these tires.

Pretty much the pricing was the thing I was wondering about. Because I would love to promote my sponsors, but that cost money right ? So I can't really do anything for them on this forum.
thanks...

FYI I found the Riken tires for $78 and the Nexen 3000 for $84 and $98. I have narrowed it down to these two. Price looks right for the Riken Zr tires

Nexen is Ultra High Performance Summer
vs
Rinken is high performance all season

Not the same type of tires.

True but according to their spiel they say they made the Riken to compete with Lower end UHP tires. It scored well on the tyre test site. I will let u know if i should of gone with the Nexen soon. Got the foose rims and the riken tires on the way. I can still change the order been wondering!! Opinions are welcomed

Just got the Riken Raptor tires and they are UHP tires not HP. They have a better treadwear rating than the Nexen's. 300 Riken to 320 Nexen. Guy at the shop told me lower # means they are stickier compound. Tire says its the wear rate. They are AA which is the highest of the class in tires. This seems encompass many performance tires into this class since better tires also fall in the AA category as well but have lower tread wear #'s

GT Radial - CHAMPIRO 328=280 TW#, Federal - SS-595=260TW#, Hankook Ventus Sport K104=280 TW# all have the best tire wear #'s this meaning worst tire wear (longevity) but best stickiness to ground. I will let u guys know how the tire performs. Hell for $78 bucks each it it is a decent tire u cant go wrong.

mig750,

Agreeded about you assesment. I still have purchased the Riken tires yet, so let me (us) know how you are liking them.


Thanks for your post,

My Rikens will be here Tuesday. Just turned over 34K on the RSA's. I'll wait until after a business trip to get them installed. Will have them for Nationals and the good roads after! $360 including delivery. Wished I would have put them on in time for our Texas/New Mexico/Arizona tour. Lots of fun roads that would have been even better on new rubber.

I'm wondering if Riken Raptors are gone. A few places that I knew had them before no longer carry them. Great!! That's exactly what I wanted too. My girlfriend has them on her T/a and has been exceptionally happy with them.



Just don't take them out in this kinda weather....you will kill yourself!!
