What owners say

No road-test results yet, so every score here comes from owner reviews found online.

How scores work

Relative score: 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
Road tests: 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
Owner reviews: 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.

What owners like and dislike

Themes extracted from 22 owner reviews found online.

The Riken Maystorm 2 B2 is widely regarded by users as a budget-tier tire that offers acceptable performance in dry conditions but presents significant safety concerns in wet weather. The consensus among reviewers is that the tire suffers from rapid tread wear, poor wet-surface traction, and unpredictable handling, leading many to label it a false economy despite its low initial purchase price.

Pros

Low initial purchase price
Adequate grip and handling on dry pavement
Generally quiet operation

Cons

Dangerous lack of traction in wet or damp conditions
Extremely rapid tread wear and short lifespan
Poor braking performance
Unpredictable handling and lack of driver confidence

Worth knowing

Users driving heavier vehicles, such as the Citroen DS5, reported accelerated tread wear and poor performance compared to expectations.
Drivers of smaller, lighter vehicles like the Toyota Aygo and Yaris noted a 'floaty' or unstable feeling at highway speeds.
Owners of electric vehicles, such as the Renault Zoe, reported that the tire's lack of grip was particularly hazardous given the vehicle's torque characteristics.
