Riken Tires

Hailing from tire giant, Michelin are Riken tires which have been keeping American drivers on the road since the 1960s. The company deals through independent tire dealers, like Discount Tire, etc and are a proven competitor against other major tire producers. Riken tires have the consumer in mind and design and produce tires that, not only improve the look and performance of your vehicle, but also save you money. This is not to say, the tires are low quality - quite the reverse actually, these tires are made for state-of-the-art technology and are guaranteed to give you years on safe driving. All the company’s tires have advanced tread designs that give the tire excellent traction and a strong grip in wet or dry conditions. The tires are designed to maintain their shape at all speeds and give a quick response when cornering.

 The Riken Raptor ZR is a popular choice of tire. Dubbed the Ultra high Performance Summer, the tire has double steel belts and thick nylon beads which help prevent it from puncturing or bruising. A special directionally designed tread channels water away from the footprint, allowing the tire to keep its grip in wet conditions. Retailing at around $76.00, this tire is definitely a worthy purchase and provides excellent performance. There are many other styles of tire in the Riken lineup and those interested will find it difficult to choose the best tire. At Discount tire, the skilled staff will be able to assist you in choosing.

 If you’re about to head out and search for new tires for that old Dodge or Ford that you’ve been driving since the 1980s or 90s, then perhaps you might give Riken tires a try this time. Head to an independent dealer and have a chat with a salesperson. He or she will probably try to sell you something a lot more expensive simply because he or she is a salesperson, but if you stand your ground and ask about the Riken lineup, I’m sure you’ll be impressed with what that particular tire company has to offer.

As mentioned above, Riken tires are the child company of giant Michelin and you can be sure Michelin’s quality and high standards are also used in the production of Riken tires. Across the continent Riken is a tire that many have on their vehicle and to date there been no major disappointments from users. Standard tire maintenance is a must with any tire, so if you do purchase new tires, take care of them.
