Budget tyres take ATR Sport saja :biggrin:
Me, I wouldn't risk it. The cheapest I can still trust is only down to GT Radial, lower than that I'm still not convinced yet. Or maybe next tire change I buy cheaper tires for the rears and good tires for the front so can be more fun to drift/burn out ha!? :burnout:

Yes both are Indonesian brands but GT Radial has been around much longer than Achilles and GT Radial has worked under Michelin partnership before, so I trust GT Radial more. Initially when they came out, I also did not trust GT Radial and only bought them the first time when they partnered with Michelin to produce some Michelin lower ranges. Never seen Achilles also included into any comparison reports in international tire reviews but GT Radial at least now already recognized, so I still don't have much confidence yet in Achilles, at least for now.

Btw yours is ATR Sport or ATR Sport 2?

Guys who're using HPY - can anyone confirm whether the sidewall is ultra hard or medium or what? And please state the tyre size you're on too

Missed this. Yeah, ATR Sport. The 2's tyre thread doesn't appeal to me as much. Looks like some normal asymmetric tyres.
You do have good points. But since many users feedback are good and tyres are cheap to try, also Daigo Saito is the man with Achilles, I think I can live with that. :biggrin:

Does DS really uses Achilles? Or he just wear the shirts & stickers due to promotional contract?
Anyway I'd need better tires because my driving skill is certainly not even remotely close to DS!

I personally molested the 123S on his Lexus last year Formula Drift.
And even got a spontaneous pic with the idol. :love:


Edit: Thats not his 123S but this one is.
His USA drift SC430 with ATR Sport 2.

Hello everyone!

One of my friends asked me to clean the interior of his car, his beauty, I’d say, a lovely Mercedes from the 1990’s. It was cleaned it in December last.





We were supposed to steam clean it. Very early the following day I started. I put...
