Ok well my friends got 2 from his old truck and we wanna see in they are still sold anywhere......or what.

I think thats how you spell it......the tire says....

"Raiken Raider"........31x10.50R15LT.......He bought them in CO with his old truck then he moved up here.....and now hes got 2 tires that are in excellent shape....

Maybe im spelling it wrong......

Can anyone help or know what im talkin about......?

I think you are talking about Riken tires. Michelin makes them as a private label for certian tire stores. I used to sell them when I worked at a tire store here in Rochester.
