    I'm very satisfied with them, pretty good for what they cost in dry conditions, and surprisingly good in the rain as long as you don't get on it too hard. If you ever have to move it in the snow however, don't even bother. I'd say buy!

    Yeah, mine have been great too. For the money, I'd definitely recommend them.

    I really liked mine. Since then have tried the Federal 595s, and now the NT555s. For all around tire(obviously not snow) the Rikens were better. Federals rolled over in corners easily and gave me an unsteady feeling with lane changes on highway. The NT555s are great straight line and wet weather, but can't hold corners as well as the Rikens. The Nitto's are really loud in corners letting you know they don't like them.
