Worst ResultPerformance Analysis
Across four winter-focused braking tests, the Riken Snow consistently finishes in the lower third of the field, with an average overall position of 37.8. Wet braking is a clear weakness, with deficits of roughly 18-27% from the best in class across multiple years and sizes, preventing progression to later test stages and limiting any chance for accolades.
There are no standout strengths or award signals; at best, the tire shows slightly less-poor relative performance in the 2024 and 2020 tests versus the worst years. Overall, the pattern indicates budget-level wet braking performance with persistent gaps to leaders.
