What is STRATA Tire?
2 Answers
STRATA is a tire series under the RIKEN brand, emphasizing comfort with enhanced tread strength while delivering excellent grip and braking performance. RIKEN tires are known for their outstanding low noise, low rolling resistance, and superior handling. The RIKEN brand has launched six tire models, with STRATA accounting for three: STRATA Excel (RU06) is an ultra-high-performance tire with exceptional grip; STRATA Trival (RH07) focuses on comfort; STRATA City (RA09) is characterized by excellent wear resistance.
STRATA tires are actually a sub-brand under Pacific Tires, positioned in the market for their high cost-performance ratio. I've used them on my own family car and found the price to be quite affordable. They work well for daily commuting when fitted on regular models like sedans and compact SUVs, and they don't wear out too quickly, saving you from frequent replacements. I think they're a great choice for budget-conscious car owners, especially young professionals like me who want to save on car maintenance costs. The driving experience is quite smooth, with minimal noise on city roads, making it comfortable to drive. While they may not be high-performance tires, their grip is decent under normal road conditions, though they might fall short if you frequently drive on highways. Overall, they're a durable, quiet, and economical option, suitable for first-time car buyers or those who prioritize practicality. Just remember to check the specific model to match your car's weight and seasonal needs for longer tire life.
