Riken Raptor ZR A/S 

Good tire for all purpose use excellent traction in both wet and dry; as you approach the limits sidewalk flexibility becomes noticeable; the tires communicate changes in traction well. Not a track or autocross dedicated tire but if you’re driving it 7/10 most of the time with occasional bursts to 8.5/10 these are your tires. Can’t be beaten in value for dollar.

To me it is the best tire out there for wet and dry traction without spending big money. I just wish the tread width was wider for track and mountain riding. I also keep a spare set mounted for the Polaris Slingshot. I use the best set (tread wear) for the vacation/mountain riding

I’ve been using Ripken Raptors for over 10 years now. I love the price. They are good in snow especially up to 4 inches. Rain is a little different and at times I have had them slip at red lights when stopping or accelerating. Overall, this tire is a great buy for me!

I went with these tires for my golf r, mostly because of the affordability, but they actually surprised me how good they were. Initially was going to use them for summer tires but they performed well enough for me in the snow. I went with 235/40 18 instead of the recommended 225/40 18 to have more sidewall for spirited cornering on back roads and they have exceeded my expectations (for a wannabe rally driver). Very pleased with this purchase.

Tires are great. They look good, get very "grippy" when warmed from driving. Did several long road trips for college with them, never overheated. Would absolutely buy them again.

I haven’t driven far enough on them to see how they are wearing. They handle well on dry pavement and I typically don’t use the car if it looks like rain.
Tire Rack was great to work with. They made the purchase simple and easy. I would buy from them again.

I've had a few sets of these tires on Porsches and BMWs. I buy them for performance grip in the dry for a dirt cheap price. I go through a lot of tires each year with multiple performance street cars and race cars so I'm not dropping $2000 for a set of tires every time.

These are great handling tires with solid feedback, do not squall that bad when really pushed and wear reasonably well for being driven hard all the time. I drive my cars pretty hard.

They will not compete with top of the line tires but I'm not competing on these, so why burn another $1,000 on a set? Buy these and smile when you can afford those performance break pads, new intake or a set of headers :)

Best tires for comfort, traction and longevity I've ever purchased.

Wow Thank to remind me car Tires : Tires are driving my car very comfortable and you don’t hear noise :I was lucky for those tires :I like those kind of tires :Thanks for and price was unbelievable and still look new tires

Work great on my little c30 hatch. I drive mostly on the twisty Oregon coast roads and through the coast mountain range. I've also done a 1500 mile trip mostly on freeway. I'm quite happy with these tires wet and dry grip. I didn't buy them for long treadwear though they seem to be doing just fine.

Basically its a really good tire for the price. I think over the years the maker of these tires seems to have lost wet weather traction qualities but its still a good bang for the buck!
