Riken Raptor HR 

I usually get the $600+ set of tires. These were about $89 each. I unexpectedly had to replace them and did not have $600. I was hoping that the positive reviews were true and went for it. I was completely surprised immediately how comfortable the ride was, like being on a cloud. Grip is extremely good. I also hit a pool of water on the shoulder of the road and it channeled the water really well and no slippage. I usually have the tires with the very fancy tread patterns and high mileage. I only have 500 miles but hope that it will last at least as long as the treadwear stated but so far so good. I was a bit concerned because I always go for the more well-known name brands but was pleasantly surprised and save a ton of money about half of what I normally would pay. Tires look great on my car also. You won't be disappointed. My third time buying on Tire Rack and I never left a review because those tires were good and to be expected because of the good reviews and the small fortune I paid BUT the discounted cost and great performance made me write this review because it could save someone money if they are unsure about this relatively unknown tire. I am good about tire rotations and wheel alignments so I expect these to last me awhile and even if treadlife is less than the more expensive tires I expect that I save $300 that can go toward another set of these. Only thing I would caution is going with the lesser known tires, if you have to replace one of them locally quickly, they may not be easy to find. If you can wait, then order another tire/s online and have it delivered. Hope this helps someone. Enjoying my new tires and especially more knowing that I got such a great deal.

The price is right. They handle extremely well in all weather conditions.

Replaced factory 205 with these 215 raptors. Smooth ride noise is not bad and really has a lot to do with road surface I had a lot of snow in WV this past winter and the roads are mountainous and I drive 64 miles to work every morning the tires gripped better than expected I would definitely buy these again or suggest to a friend

These tires have pleasantly surprised me. I dont have power steering and the inputs feel a little too light and unresponsive, but not enough to be dangerous or problematic. They handle pretty well in the dry and provide decent sportiness for a cheap all season, but it is nothing to blow me out of the water. In the wet and snow I have been very impressed. I have had no issues in the wet and they are very confidence inspiring. In the few times I've driven them in snow they've gotten me everywhere I've needed to go with perfectly acceptible slippage and brakeing. I don't have ABS so the braking performance is greatly impacted by my abilities, but I found that, assuming I left decent following distance, I've never feared I wouldn't stop in time and I've made it up some decent snowy hills. They're not perfect, but they're very impressive for the price.

In my experience in dry weather they feel like road huggers without giving your wallet a swift death. Amazing turning response and traction.
In snow/ice they are no blizzard tire for sure but 5 inches or less of snowfall and your In the green.

Shipping was fast, tires are great, made the ride comfort WAY better and grip in the rain. I do a lot of hilly backroad driving for the daily commute, so for the price I’d definitely buy these again.

Price for these tires is incredible. Noise and comfort and handling are off the charts. I’d give them a 10 on all three categories.

This tire is definitely quiet and has excellent tread wear. I have not experienced any hydroplaning what so ever. I would recommend purchasing these tires!

It is very difficult to find factory sized 215/60 15 tires for my 1983 Porsche 944. A fellow 944 enthusiast recommended these tires so I bought them. I had a HPDE event approaching and needed tires. I was skeptical of how well the tires would grip on the track given the very high treadwear rating of over 500. On road, the 2 hour drive to the track was very comfortable given the 60 series sidewall. Noise was not an issue and the tires responded well to my steering and braking inputs. On track, I lowered air pressures to 31psi and the car handled very well. There was no over nor understeer and no wheel lock up under braking. The car is rather under powered at a factory rating of 143hp so there was no wheel spin on corner exits as well. I rebuilt the suspension specifically for street / track use. Koni yellow adjustable shocks /struts, larger sway bars, polyurethane bushings, 200lb coil over front springs, strut tower brace, and the stock rear torsion bars. The car has a road friendly alignment and stock ride he ight. These tires suit my needs quite well. If I tracked this car competitively, I would most certainly purchase a 200tw track tire.
