Riken Raptor 205 65 15 - Thx Discount Tire!

[dareo]

So i just bought 4 of these, i believe they are made by BFG/Michelin corp. Their stickers are just like other bfg brands. I got the black friday $50, another $50 treadlife discount from a set of mediocre Falken Ziex tires, and the tire was on closeout.

$211 installed with all taxes. Like its 2005 or something. Anyone know about these?

Are they the Raptor HR all season's? I bought a set as an alternative to the old standby Traction T/A junk with much better grip all around and especially when cold, but when worn down to 6/32nds or so they couldn't handle wet roads anymore.

They work but be prepared to replace them when they still look good.

They are an H rated all season, A traction A temperature and a 5 something treadwear. I think they will be a step above cheap china tires but nothing amazing. i could see them getting noisy and having poor water performance later on, but also racking up a lot of miles along the way.
