The Raptor VR tire from RIKEN is a high-speed rated tire suitable for various vehicles such as sedans, coupes, minivans, and crossover vehicles. This tire is designed specifically for sport-touring purposes, providing excellent handling performance and year-round traction in different weather conditions, including light snow. To enhance its performance, the Raptor VR tire employs a symmetrical tread pattern with an all-season compound. The continuous center rib ensures consistent contact between the rubber and the road, resulting in a stable on-center feel and precise steering response. Additionally, the tire features multiple lateral notches and four wide circumferential grooves that effectively evacuate water from the contact patch, minimizing the risk of hydroplaning. Moreover, in-block sipes are incorporated into the tire design to provide necessary grip and traction in all seasons.
