Does anyone have any experience with Riken Raptors?

[UpTight]

Looking for a set of new tires for my B7, and just came across these Riken Raptors for around 100 bucks a tire. I obviously don't mind saving a buck if I can, but also don't wanna compromise on safety. If not those, then I was considering the Kumho majesty. Any input would be appreciated!

Also feel free to share what tires you folks are running in general!

Japanese sub-brand owned by Michelin, can't see them being the worst but it's still a budget line tire possibly manufactured outside Japan.

I run Continental winters on several vehicles and cheap chinese Sailun Atrezzo performance summer tires, my friend's shop sell a ton of them and he reports less defects than most big name suppliers. I've been a fan of Conti and General tires for a while, but for the price lately the cheap rubber has been great value and performance.

If ya need an A/S, but don't get much snow, the conti DWS06 are great all around tires. I ran a few sets, but weren't great in deeper snow. So I run 2 sets of wheels/tires. Summers are GT Gmax-RS, a dedicated summer performance tire, thats not crazy priced. Happy so far, but not great in heavy rain. They don't have any water wicking channels, just solid tread style. But great in fair weather. For snows I run Nexen winguard sport 2. Theyre kinda a performance snow tire. Decent in snow, but still handle decent in dry/wet weather.
