Tires RIKEN or LASSA

Licna preporuka za neku budget gumu je Riken, odlicna po suhom, drzi nenormalno po suhom, nesto slabija po mokrom.

Eu tenho 2 Lassa, não tenho queixas nenhumas, nem agora no tempo de chuva, em que já tive a (infeliz) oportunidade de ver se seriam capazes de safar na chuva, ou seriam apenas mais uns pneus para nunca mais, não se saíram nada mal.

Ja vozim Lassa i letnje i zimske. One su budget gume, kostaju 9.5k svaka ali ja nisam primetio da su mi smetale bilo kad.

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.

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.

My “RíKEN RAPTOR” tires sound pretty… well I think about my driving on cooler temp roads with corners or any moisture.

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 never heard of Lassa tires. Off brand tires are not exactly well designed and manufactured so they could just be loud as shit.
