About This Tire
The Riken Raptor VR 235/45R18 is a V-speed rated all-season tire designed for sedan, coupe, minivan and crossover drivers who prioritize year-round versatility and reliable handling in everyday driving. Its tread design and compound focus on maintaining consistent road contact and effective water evacuation for balanced performance across seasons. The Raptor VR features a symmetric tread pattern with a continuous center rib that provides constant rubber-to-road contact for solid steering response and on-center feel.
Four wide circumferential grooves work alongside multiple lateral notches to channel water away from the contact patch and resist hydroplaning, while in-block sipes create biting edges for traction in light snow conditions. Driver feedback points to strong dry performance and dependable wet weather capability, with good comfort levels and treadwear characteristics in regular use. Compared to performance-oriented tires, it emphasizes comfort, stability, and long-term usability.
Overall, it's a solid choice for passenger vehicles used primarily for daily commuting and highway travel in varied weather conditions.
