was this a normal street turn, or fast and the furious turn? it sounds like the car was running on metal wheels. I hope the scion is ok.
anyway, so far I'm liking the road feel of the car and I've been going where I want to go.
With all this horror stories, I'm glad I bought there replacement warranty.

The tires I feel looks great and the performance so far is up to par. I already had several chances of driving the car vigorously and so far so good. the tire is a lot quieter that the stocks and at 32 psi all around, the cars feel much more comfortable on the road, it helps when you are running aftermarket springs. As far as longevity, it remains to be seen, but like I said I have the worry free warranty so that gives me peace of mind. as a matter of fact, I was able to afford the warranty because the price of the tires were affordable.

Riken Raptors do kinda suck but they are the best for the price... plus we are AWD we aint no camaro that can barely hook up on slicks, any tire will grip with awd. Break lose off the line of course but from gear to gear your gonna be fine plus we will be buying new tires yearly rather then every 3 years! i run the Nitto NT555 and they are awesome just fyi, good price too 650 for all 4 in a 255/40r17 on the stock BBS SE wheel

you get what you pay for... Tires are the only thing between your car and the ground. What is every other performance mod for if your tires are inefficient? Hopefully the tires are suitable for your driving.

All I'm saying is I believe, despite all the hate for cheaper tires... you can make your moneys worth and so far, these tires are working much better than what I am lead to believe. All of it is from my own true experience. That's all

I dont understand why people are being cheap on tires. Its the most important part of driving really. And konigs... uhm, self explanitory.
Looks nice though. But im just not a fan of cheap tires, red pinstripes, matching pinstripes to car colors, and konigs.
What would look great on your car after you put the rims on would be blacked out the inside of the headlight housing!
