Well my Riken Raptor ZR tires blew, and I have the possibility of replacing with either the following:

Dunlop Direzza DZ101 or Nitto NT 555 Extreme Performance.

Can anyone comment on any of these tires? How is the wear? Wet performance?

Thanks

 

How about a better idea? Michelin Pilot Super Sports, best price is from www.tirerack.com. UTQG rated at 300 they'll last for 30K miles and they're sticky with a ton of grip.

The Dunlop has been a decent dd sport tire for a while now. There are better options out there such as the B-Stone RE760's, BFG GForce Sport Comp 2, and Firestone Indy 500 Wide Oval.

 

errr, both those tires you listed are in the UHP (ultra high performance) category, which I believe is the same as your raptor, and which is a couple steps away from the Extreme Performance category, where the UHP tires have longer tread life but less traction. (and are generally less sensitive to slip angles)

I believe the Nitto EP tire is the NT555RII, and the dunlop is the star spec z1 or z2.
