Tires RIKEN or Shinko

RIKEN Tires

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.

Pros: perform quite well
Cons: not full on track
Vehicle: Mazda

RIKEN Tires

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.

Pros: great dry grip
Cons: not amazing in wet

RIKEN Tires

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.

Pros: solid performer, aggressive pattern
Cons: grip suffers a bit
Mileage: 4000 km

Rating 4.0

I avoided the 805 big blocks because of typically rough and noisy street use. Figured they’d be great offroad. Tried some 705s and they were great street tires but really loose and washy offroad. I’m on the 700s now and I’m really liking them. Closest thing to a 50/50 tire I’ve ever had.

Pros: great street tires
Cons: loose and washy offroad

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

Pros: odlicna po suhom
Cons: slabija po mokrom

Pros: pe uscat zici ca e pe sine

Shinko Tires

As a person who sells motorcycle parts for a living and currently has Shinkos on his bike for cost effective reasons. I suggest to NEVER get Shikos.

Pros: cost effective
Cons: never get Shikos
