Riken Raptor H series

Hello all, My 2006 is fitted with Riken Raptor H tires.

I'm happy with them in the dry and with the wear so far, but...

I am totaly displeased with them in the wet and I mean any wet!

I get slippage like crazy and Hydroplaning!!! I recently was out in a heavy downpour. I was on the flat running about 65 approaching a slight uphill grade that I have taken many a time in my Ford E150 Van. As I began climbing the grade I lost grip and started loosing control. Had to back off to roughly 50 MPH were as most of the other cars and trucks began passing me.

Needles to say I won't be getting them again,

I am curious if any one else has them and there comments.

I won;t ask for suggestions on replacements as i can search till my hearts content and make a choice.

Thanks

MikeRuth
