Tires RIKEN or MRF

I have the masseter on my bike and I'm happy with it.

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.

Idk if the showroom guys have control over that because I asked for Apollo and I got MRF. The sales guy told me the bikes get allocated at random.

But coming to the tyre itself I would say the MRFs are good only. Never felt the lack of grip except one time when my tyre was in slushy mud. Appearance wise also the MRF's look a little wider compared to the Apollo's since the tyre profile is more curved in the latter if that matters to you.

Economical and life span, I would recomend mrf wanderer. 6k per tire and will give you 70k+ km life.

Harder tires like MRF, Ceat, JK etc., will offer good lifetime and low wear and tear.

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.

First don't buy MRF Nylogrip FE. Very thin tyre despite being of the same size. It skids easily with a little lean and you won't be confident.

Need to replace the front soon, I hate the Zappers the longevity is very good it lasts ages but the grip and breaking is pathetic.

I have beef with MRF, their compound is so hard it makes it seem like I am on roller skates in a wet skating ring when it’s raining.
