Tires RIKEN or Kormoran

Meti 4 Kormoran UHP (com o devido alinhamento e calibração) por 328€ e outros 4 Barum Bravuris por 352€.

Os Kormoran, uso diaramente, e estou bem contente pelo preço. Mesmo em chuva portam-se bem, mas não são pneus para te armares em Ayrton Senna nessas condições climatéricas :D

O ponto negativo que dou, mas isso é ser picuinhas, é o desenho do pneu que é diferente do habitual e acho feio.

Recently bought some Rikens(Japanese tyre company that is now owned by Michelin and made in EU) for my wife's car and they are smooth AF.

My cheap Kormoran Snow (Michelin owned) works great in Sweden. Best results on snow, and good fuel economy not so great at the rest.

Rikens are fine. They're quite a soft tyre, probably because like you said Michelin make them butbthat does meant the grip is decent.

Speaking of cheap tires, I recently switched my tired old 41k mile Sumitomo ZIII with these $43 in 225/45 17 Riken raptor ZR and quite surprised how well they are. They grip as good as my ZIII did, way quieter and rain performance was fantastic. I was hesitant at first until I read reviews on tirerack phrasing these are great tires and they are definitely good. I also learned Riken is part of the Michelin tires company so its probably of decent build quality.

They have an aggressive tread pattern and I have driven them for the last 7 months in a variety of conditions from downpouring rain to hot, humid sun and they have not let me down yet. I push them hard on a cloverleaf on-ramps. They grip well and don't even chirp.

We used to use the P Zero Nero as they came on our mustang but they just didn't have the traction we wanted...We replaced them with RIKEN RIKEN RAPTOR ZR tires @ about $100 each (raw tire)

The Riken handle better on blacktop, although it's no super sticky tire but the front end doesn't plow near as bad.

I’ve been running Riken Raptor ZR A/S tires since I got my WRX just over a year ago and FINALLY got my hands on a set of Blizzaks. I’m excited to see how they handle any future snows here in Colorado Springs. We just had a good bit of snow dumped on us this past week and the all seasons were definitely showing signs of needing replacement.
