It's official...I've crossed over to the Darkside. Thanks Mr. Whiskey for the advice on buying the Riken Raptor...I love it....I ordered another one...alright, where do I get my #....

Do you need to do the nut cage mod to run it?

How much and what size did you get?

Interested in Darkside here and will need to replace a Bridgestone Excedra fairly soon.... might get 11k out of the Excedra...... Almost to the wear bars now....

4000 miles on mine, I love it.  My better half loves it more.  Smoother ride.

Where did you order it from?

[Mr Whiskey]

Hey Brad, got mine through my local http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/home.do
Think it ran me 'bout $105 & I had to pick it up at their shop. (took the I/S & strapped it to the rear seat, haha! You shoulda seen the looks I got when I left the shop!)
Pretty sure they told me that this tire was being discontinued, in this size, & they had it shipped from a warehouse in Phoenix.
Thinkin' this might be my next one............http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Hankook&tireModel=Ventus+V12+evo+K110&partnum=055WR6K110XL&vehicleSearch=false&fromCompare1=yes
if I caint get another Raptor. This Hankook has the same specs, & is a tad softer compound (280 tread rate, the Raptor is 300).
I'll keep runnin' the Raptor as long as I can get one though! It's proven itself!
Peace, Whiskey.

Brad, I got mine from onlinetires.com....121.73 shipped to my door....

Mr. Whiskey, I've put 1100 miles on her so for...still love it...dropped the pressure to 34 lbs....kind of made my booty cheeks pucker a few times...gonna go back to 38 lbs.....what air pressure are you running?

[Mr Whiskey]

36 lbs for "carvin" corners & 38 to 40 lbs for long highway rides or pullin' the trailer.
Caught a cut nail at work couple of weeks ago & didn't realize it till I was turnin' on the super slab. Pressure was 15 lbs when I got to the house! Glad I didn't take off for The Dragon.
Plugged it, gonna run the rest of the tread off it.
Peace, Whiskey.

[Mallett]

Still loving mine Mr. Whiskey....put 1700 miles on mine the last 9 days...played with tire pressure a little...started at 40....dropped it to 34....bumped it back up to 38...just right..

[BradValk48237]
