The Raptor ZR A/S is RIKEN's Ultra High Performance All-Season tire developed for the drivers of sporty coupes and sport sedans looking to combine responsive steering and performance-focused handling with capability in inclement weather, even in very light snow.
The Raptor ZR A/S molds an all-season compound into an aggressive, directional tread design focused on providing traction in dry and wet conditions. The arrow-shaped pattern utilizes wide lateral grooves for efficient water evacuation and improved hydroplaning resistance. The tire sidewalls feature a rigid compound to help improve handling and steering response, while a built-in rim protector helps prevent damage to wheels.
The tire's internal construction consists of a two-ply polyester casing supporting two wide, steel belts. A two-ply nylon reinforcement aids handling and provides high-speed durability.
