Has anyone used the Raptor ZR?


It is a good tire for some applications. Cheap, grippy. Smaller than the factory Metz. Recently put the original Metzler on. Much better handling. Bought some Bridgestone recently. Rolling it for RAA.

Eww if your Raptor was smaller than the stock, that could be "part" of the handling problem. You changed geometry the wrong way.

*Note I said part of the problem* I have no experience or care about other aspects of DS.
 
I just got one yesterday.
It will replace the Yokohama Avid Envigor and I'll post once I try it out.

I fell for the Tire Rack advertisement mini mag which featured it prominently.
It's softer than the Yoko and the tread extends further down the sidewall as well.

I'll probably die in a ball of flames the moment it rolls, but what the hell.
 
An extra rim with a CT spare is no big deal. Gives me an option and the chance to clean the rear arms and calipers well, lube and torque everything good.
