Tires like the Riken Raptor are a soft tire and performance minded, but not full on track tire (300tw). They perform quite well, but at the same time, are dirt cheap.
In my experience the best bang for your buck summer tire is the Riken Raptor. They're about $100 a pop and have great dry grip. Downside is that they're not amazing in very wet conditions.
Riken Raptor ZR A/S RF. These tires were under $400 for a SET (about $86 per tire). 300tw. Aggressive tire pattern. And they are a solid performer for canyon carving. I drove them about 4000 miles over a week this past summer around MATG including some pretty aggressive backroad driving and they held up VERY well. Insanely well given the price.
I'm at about 50k on a audi Q4 awd and outside of resetting the inspection light ever 10k miles, washer fluid monthly, and tires at 40k.
Drove the car in the snow storm over the weekend. Did not feel safe with the summer tires on. Also, front windshield wipers froze. Had to pull over twice to scrape the ice off the front windshield. Otherwise a nice SUV. Comfortable and very powerful. Time will tell about the reliability. Cheers
Aside from eating tires and brakes like they’re crabby patties, we’ve had zero issues on the car. Tires seem to go every 25 - 30K miles and we seem to be changing front brakes every 25K and rears at every 30K.
Eu am Riken Snow pe mașina de la lucru, pe uscat zici că e pe șine, nu zice pâs dar pe ud am niște emoții de nu-i adevărat ???? nu doar odată era să fac piruete cu ea la viteze de nimic și stai că astea-s bune că am avut pe masina de la lucru inainte un set blanao de viatti brina, dădeam scârb 1-2-3 pe ud cu 1.4 aspirat, babaiatule...
That is 25% of your contact with the road, and from the look of the breaks, a sporty car so a lot of power going down on that wheel. I would change immediately
Mot fail. Change it
Had one almost identical and changed it immediately, not worth the risk and unlikely to pass MOT.
