Pros, cons & observations
Themes extracted from owner reviews across retailers and review sites — not the opinion of TireWheelGuide.
The Riken All Star 2 is viewed as a polarizing budget-tier tire that serves as a temporary solution rather than a long-term investment. While some users appreciate its value proposition for light-duty city driving, others report significant concerns regarding premature wear and overall durability compared to premium alternatives.
Pros
- Attractive low price point
- Acceptable noise levels for budget-conscious drivers
- Adequate stopping performance in light city conditions
Cons
- Poor tread longevity and durability
- Failure to meet safety inspection standards within a year
- Inconsistent quality compared to premium tire brands
Observations
- Users operating smaller, lighter vehicles like the Daewoo Matiz reported acceptable noise levels and curb-climbing capability.
- The tire is frequently criticized when used as a direct replacement for higher-end performance tires, highlighting a significant gap in material longevity.
The Yokohama AVS ES100 is regarded as a responsive and engaging tire that performs well in both wet and dry conditions, particularly for performance-oriented driving. While users appreciate its handling characteristics, the consensus indicates that the tire's tread life is relatively short.
Pros
- High level of steering responsiveness
- Reliable grip in both wet and dry weather conditions
- Well-suited for performance driving and cornering
Cons
- Rapid tread wear
- Limited longevity compared to touring-focused tires
Observations
- Users report positive handling characteristics when fitted to performance-oriented vehicles like the Nissan Skyline.
- The tire is frequently utilized in front-axle applications for drift-focused driving setups.

How do we compare tires?
Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements) normalized against the best tire in each test and weighted toward recent tests. 40% comes from thousands of owner reviews collected from retailers and review sites. When a tire has only one of the two, we use what exists and say so.
Community buzz from Reddit and forums is shown for context only — it never changes the score.
