Riken Raptor (tires)
This is a initial review of the tires.
Looks
look pretty cool, and that's all i can say about that
Cornering
i was a little skeptical of these tires being about to corner and hold the road. So i started out Slow into some of the easier corners and turns around HSV. Slopes are pretty good on the turns so they are forgiving on most any tire. As i got more comfortable with the tires i added speed. 70% of the corners were less than a 45* turn.
I now found some 45*+ turn and cranked up the speed still gripping hard and the more i push the harder they grip. finally i get tired of messing around and go for the gold on turns there is a turn entering my parents neighborhood ~70-85* turn (with my line) so i got up to 45-50mph trying to break these tires loose...and they still held!!!!
Straight line
only had 1 chance to test them due to rain AGAIN!!
sitting at a stop light im on a slight rearward slope so i bring my rpms up to 2,000 and wait. when the light turns green i slip maybe 20% of my normal and at 10mph i floored the living **** out of it. There was a split second of spin and then HOOK!!
